I think that Charlie means the other way around, reversed, back-a-ward to for-a-ward. You want to use ListFind() "ListContains()" returns true of the string exists in ANY of the list elements: so "1", "2" and "12" are all contained in the list "12". However "ListFind()" matches the exact element - so "1" and "2" cannot be found in the list "12" but "12" (obviously) can be. "Contains" in CF is always a content search, not a match (you can use "Contains" as an evaluation operator as well).
