In light of this, I defer to Andy's link to using native Java List functions for comparison - which can also be done in one line of CF code... <cfset allElementsInLargeList = ListToArray(largeList).containsAll(ListToArray(smallList))> VERY good catch, Adam.

However, considering a very large list of values, perhaps it would be more efficient to convert to arrays and use contains().

You might be able to do this much easier with the "built in" Contains() method of the Array object.
