Just loop over the string like a list, but use step=2 instead of one. Ie
<cfloop index="x" from="1" to="#listLen(str)#" step="2">
<cfset key = listGetAt(str,x,"|")>
<cfset val = listGetAt(str,x+1,"|")>
<cfoutput>#key#: #val#<br></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
You will want to make sure the list is 'proper' fist - thats as easy as
making sure listLen(str,"|") is even.
