ArrayFindNoCase

Last update:
May 18, 2026
Note:
As of ColdFusion (2021 release), CORBA has been removed. You can no longer use CORBA-related features, functions, and tags.

Description

Searches an array for the first position of a specified object. The function searches for simple objects such as strings and numbers or for complex objects such as structures. When the second parameter is a simple object, string searches are not case-sensitive. This function does not support searches for COM and CORBA objects.
Note that ArrayFindNoCase() behaves identically to ArrayFind(), except in the special cases where the second parameter is a function or you are searching for a string in an array of strings. When the second parameter is a function, ArrayFind() executes the function for each element in the array and ArrayFindNoCase() searches the array for the function.

Returns

Index in the array of the first match, or 0 if there is no match.
