Subject: match attribute values
From: "Mac Martine" <email@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2003 13:08:03 -0800

Hello-
 I am trying to find all values of a specified attribute and sort them
in order. I know this is normally really easy, but I add one complicated
factor. Sometimes the attribute will have multiple values separated by a
','. I am assigning certain elements a task number, but some elements
will have multiple task numbers. So I need to go through and find which
elements holds the certain value that I am looking for. I am only
supplying the stripped code for the issue I am having (I have not
included the string splitting code, etc). With the code below I get a
recursion error. So, I basically need to find the element where @task =
1, then where @task = 2, @task = 3 and so on. So, any help would be
appreciated, or any more clever approaches than what I am attempting
here. Thanks-
 Mac
