Yep, you should be able to use any string as a delimiter. I thought I read someone say do a replace. Since you know the delimiter is _split_ why not do something like:
<cfset original_var = 'qu_45_tb_45_split_0_split_q_67'> <cfset new_var=replace(original_var, '_split_', '|', 'ALL')> <cfset newarray=listtoarray(new_var,'|')> <cfdump var='#newarray#'> I think this is what the guy wanted to do.
