something like this should work
<cfset Inthis = "Blah other blah...string is about 150 chars">
Was there a match? #YesNoFormat(ReFindNoCase("this|other|about", InThis))#
it will return the position of the first character of the first word it
matches
in your sentence "other" woud be found first "o" is at position 6 so it
would return "yes"
anything other than 0 is a positive return
