ReadabilityCreating a simple conditional loop in ColdFusion using the CFLOOP tag
In previous examples, “Creating a simple index loop in ColdFusion using the CFLOOP tag” and “Setting the step size on an indexed loop in ColdFusion using the CFLOOP tag”, we saw how you could create a simple index loop in ColdFusion using the <CFLOOP> tag using the index, from, and to, and step attributes.
The following example shows how you can create a simple conditional loop in ColdFusion using the <CFLOOP> tag using the condition attribute.
counter == #counter#
The preceding code produces the following output:
counter == 1
counter == 11
counter == 21
counter == 31
counter == 41
The previous example used a condition of LESS THAN, it is important to note that you can instead use the shorthand notation of LT. You could also use a condition of LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO (or use the LTE shorthand), or GREATER THAN (or GT shorthand), or GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO (or GTE shorthand).
counter == #counter#
counter == #counter#
counter == #counter#
