ColdFusion cfcase statements and referencing their variables?

If you have code like so:

<cfcase value="Test">
   /**Do Stuff
</cfcase>

Is it possible to reference that value within the case statement?

I want to concatenate a list that can handle multiple cases and be able to dynamically reference the variables like so:

<cfcase value="Test,Another,Yes,No">
   <cfif this.value EQ 'Test'> blabla </cfif>
</cfcase>

I can't find anything that detailed about this for everywhere I have looked, just curious if it is even possible.

Solution

  • Yes, you can run multiple case statement in a cfcase tag:

    <cfswitch expression="#URL.TestValue#">

    <cfcase value="Blue,Red,Orange" delimiters=",">
        <cfoutput>#URL.TestValue#</cfoutput>
    </cfcase>

    <cfcase value="Yellow">
        <cfoutput>#URL.TestValue#</cfoutput>
    </cfcase>

</cfswitch>
