Just treat the string as a list, use the list function and specify " " as the delimiter (or " .,-" etc.

How do I get the first (say 10) words from a string? Problem: A query to my database returns a column (details) that is of memo type. I want to limit the display of this column to the first 10 words only. I had a quick look at the CFML documentation for string functions but could not find any that works with words (not characters). I am obviously missing something. What is it? Thanks a lot.
