OK, a couple of seemingly off-topic questions:

What version of Cold Fusio (CF5.0, CFMX, etc)
How long is the string you are searching through (appromiate max length in KB)

Using <cffile action="read" file="c:\temp\temp.1" variable="test"> to read an external 
file to a variable called "test"

The external file I'm reading in is not always the same (number of lines, text, etc.).

What I do know is the file will always contain the text "Number users:" with some text 
following it which I need to grab and set into another variable "users"

So the idea is to loop through the variable "test" and once I find the text "Number 
users:" grab the information after the ":" up to the period "." and set "1-20" into 
the variable "users"

I have the loop part but not sure of the correct syntax to pluck out everything from 
the ":" to the end of the "."



Example:

blah...blah

blah...blahblah...blah
blah...blah

blah...blah

blah...blah

Number users: 1-20.

blah...blah

blah...blah
