<p>
ColdFusion ignores empty list elements; thus, the list &quot;a,b,c,,,d&quot; has four elements.
</p>

<p>
ColdFusion treats each character in the delimiters parameter as a separate delimiter. Therefore, if the parameter is &quot;,+&quot; ColdFusion will break the list at either a comma or a plus sign.
