ummm lets see....
<cfoutput>
<cfset Inthis = "Blah other blah...string is about 150 chars">
<cfset wasfound = ReFindNoCase("this|other|about", InThis)>
<!--- if something was found --->
<cfif wasfound NEQ "0">
<!--- get everything to the right starting with the position that was
found --->
<cfset rest = right(InThis, len(InThis) - (wasfound-1))>
<!--- treat it as a list and grab the first entry delimited by spaces --->
#listfirst(rest, " ")#
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
that LOOKS like it should work
