Hi Steve, if quickly, I think the approach can be: 1. Find the first position in string 2. If exists at least something then you can start loop using condition statement by increment prior position +1
for example: ************************************************************************ <cfset content = "content test content test content test" /> <cfset strSearch = "test" /> <cfset initPos = FindNoCase(strSearch,content,1) /> <cfif initPos> <cfset chk = initPos> <cfloop condition="chk"> <cfset pos = FindNoCase(strSearch,content,(chk+1)) /> <cfset chk = pos> </cfloop> </cfif> *********************************************************************** it just a thoughts, I'm sure probably it can be done by diff way as well.
