cfloop inserts "YES" into page

cfml, coldfusion, coldfusion-10

Solution

As per the docs, ArrayAppend returns a boolean - i.e. true/yes - which you are outputting by wrapping the expression in `#hashes#`.

You do not need to output (or indeed do anything with the result), you can just do this:

<cfloop from="2" to="6" index="i">
    <cfset ArrayAppend(MyNewArray2, MyNewArray[i]) />
</cfloop>

As a side note, a simpler way to the same thing as your code does is use duplicate to copy the array, then ArrayDeleteAt to remove the first value.

<cfset MyNewArray2 = duplicate(MyNewArray) />
<cfset ArrayDeleteAt(MyNewArray2,1) />
<cfset ArrayDeleteAt(MyNewArray2,6) />

Or, as Leigh points out in the comments, even simpler still is converting those three lines into a single ArraySlice call:

<cfset MyNewArray2 = ArraySlice(MyNewArray,2,5) />

Also consider whether DayOfWeekAsString is a useful function for whatever you're doing.

Problem

I'm creating a new array using `cfloop` and for some reason ColdFusion injects the word "YES" into a page HTML for every value in `MyNewArray`. So with the code below I get this "YES YES YES YES YES". How can I stop that? ``` <cfset MyNewArray = ArrayNew(1)> <cfset MyNewArray2 = ArrayNew(1)> <cfset MyNewArray[1] = "Sunday"> <cfset MyNewArray[2] = "Monday"> <cfset MyNewArray[3] = "Tuesday"> <cfset MyNewArray[4] = "Wednesday"> <cfset MyNewArray[5] = "Thursday"> <cfset MyNewArray[6] = "Friday"> <cfset MyNewArray[7] = "Saturday"> <cfloop from="2" to="6" index="i"> <cfoutput>#ArrayAppend(MyNewArray2, MyNewArray[i])#</cfoutput> </cfloop> ```
