Try this (watch the wrap):
<cffunction name="wordcount" returntype="numeric" output="yes"
hint="Counts the number of occurences of a given word in a given
string">
<cfargument name="word" type="string" required="yes" hint="The word
to look for">
<cfargument name="line" type="string" required="yes" hint="The
string to search through">
<cfset var wordarray =
refind("[^[:alpha:]](#arguments.word#)[^[:alpha:]]", arguments.line, 1,
TRUE)>
<cfif NOT wordarray.len[1]>
<cfreturn 0>
</cfif>
<cfreturn arraylen(wordarray.len)>
</cffunction>
HTH,
Tim.
