So, you're saying all the comments are just in one big text field? And that
you want to get the first comment in that big text field? Is that accurate?
(It's horrible DB design, btw.)

If so, you should be able to do this:
<cfsavecontent variable="comments">
*** 13/01/2003  09:47:06  TUser1 ***
callno:1126
Some comment1

*** 13/01/2003  08:30:27  TUser2 ***
Some Comment2
</cfsavecontent>

<cfoutput>
FIRST COMMENT =<br>
*** #listgetat(comments, 2, "***")# ***<br>
#listgetat(comments, 3, "***")#
</cfoutput>

Ugly ugly, though.
