Example
<cfset fromDate = Now()> <cfset toDate = Now() + 30> <cfloop from="#fromDate#" to="#toDate#" index="i" step="#CreateTimeSpan(7,0,0,0)#"> <cfoutput>#dateformat(i, "mm/dd/yyyy")#<br /></cfoutput> </cfloop>
<cfset fromDate = Now()> <cfset toDate = Now() + 30> <cfloop from="#fromDate#" to="#toDate#" index="i" step="#CreateTimeSpan(7,0,0,0)#"> <cfset i = dateAdd("d", 0, i)><!--- converts number to date ---> <cfoutput>#i.dateTimeFormat("mm/dd/yyyy")#</cfoutput> </cfloop>
<cfset startTime = CreateTime(0,0,0)> <cfset endTime = CreateTime(23,59,59)> <cfloop from="#startTime#" to="#endTime#" index="i" step="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0)#"> <cfoutput>#TimeFormat(i, "hh:mm tt")#<br /></cfoutput> </cfloop>
