should work...
<cfif ListFirst(listElement, ":") EQ "House Number">
<cfset theNumberYouWant = Trim(ListLast(listElement, ":"))>
</cfif>
Also, I'm not sure it's a problem, but you should change one of the i
variables to another name, it made me look twice so no doubt others will
too.
Hope that helps, let us know how you get on.

Subject: Plucking out some text from a <cfloop> how to
I need some help on this. I'm reading in a file and dumping it to a
variable "i" and then displaying it to the screen using a cfloop
<cfloop index=i List="#i#">
#i#
</cfloop>
The file being read in looks something like this
Name: Satan
Company: MikeRoweSoft
Address: 666 Hell Crescent
House Number: 666
From the above loop how can I "pluck" out the house number "666" or
whatever it might be and dump it to another variable for future referencing?
varNew = 666
