Example

<!--- This view-only example illustrates usage of StructFind. --->
<P>This file is identical to addemployee.cfm, which is called by
StructNew, StructClear, and StructDelete. It adds employees. Employee
information is passed through the employee structure (EMPINFO
attribute). In UNIX, you must also add the Emp_ID.
<!--- 
<cfswitch expression = "#ThisTag.ExecutionMode#">
  <cfcase value = "start">
   <cfif StructIsEmpty(attributes.EMPINFO)>
    <cfoutput>Error. No employee data was passed.</cfoutput>
     <cfexit method = "ExitTag">
   <cfelse>
     <cfquery name = "AddEmployee" datasource = "cfsnippets">
     INSERT INTO Employees (FirstName, LastName, Email, Phone, Department)
      VALUES 
       <cfoutput>
        (
         '#StructFind(attributes.EMPINFO, "firstname")#' ,
         '#StructFind(attributes.EMPINFO, "lastname")#' ,
         '#StructFind(attributes.EMPINFO, "email")#' ,
         '#StructFind(attributes.EMPINFO, "phone")#' ,
