Probably not the best solution, but a very quick one (to come up with, not processing time):
ListGetAt( YOUR_CONTENT, 2, """" ) Treat the content a quote-delimited list. Then the second list item is the first value. ......................

I'm working on this myself, but wanted to throw it to the list in case someone knew it right off. I have a string: <option>select a make</option><option value="Honda" selected>Honda</option> The length of this string might vary, but I need to get the string inside the FIRST value="get this string". I know the starting char by doing this: str.indexOf('"'); which returns 44, so I know to start counting at 45, but how do I know to stop counting at char 50 (in this case)? So basically I need to get the FIRST occurrence of value="" and get what's between the quotes. ____________________________________ Andy Matthews Senior Coldfusion Developer Office: 877.707.5467 x747 Direct: 615.627.9747 Fax: 615.467.6249 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.dealerskins.com <http://www.dealerskins.com/> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
