See if this does the trick for you. It returns an array.
<cffunction name="seperateToArray" returntype="array">
<cfargument name="myString" required="yes" type="string">
<cfargument name="maxLength" required="yes" type="numeric">
<cfset var myArray = arrayNew(1)>
<cfset var spcPos = 0>
<cfset var myTmpStr = "">
<cfset var myTmpAry = false>
<cfif len(myString) GT maxLength>
<cfset spcPos = maxLength - len(listLast(left(myString, maxLength), " "))>
<cfset myTmpStr = left(myString, spcPos)>
<cfset myArray = seperateToArray(right(myString, len(myString) - spcPos),
maxLength)>
<cfelse>
<cfset myTmpStr = myString>
</cfif>
<cfset myTmpAry = arrayPrepend(myArray, myTmpStr)>
<cfreturn myArray>
</cffunction>

I hadn't thought of this approach, I see merit here, I'll look into it.

I'm sure there's more than one way to solve this particular issue, my
thought would be to turn the string into a list using the space as a
delimiter, then add the length of the list element plus one (for the
space) until you reach or break your cutoff level.
Not very pretty but it'd get the job done.

Subject: The Last Space.
Anybody know a trick (regex or otherwise) to find the position of the
last
white space character before an arbitrary limit?
In the following example, I want the position of the last white space
before
the 25th character.
"The quick brown fox jumped over a lazy dog."
So I would want the position of the white space after 'fox', which is
the
20th character. This is the last white space before the 25th character
with
is the 'e' in 'jumped'. Allowing me to break the string into:
"The quick brown fox " <!-- note: trailing white space is included.
-->
"jumped over a lazy dog."
I don't think this should be that hard, but for some reason, it has
given me
lots of trouble.
Thanks
