The problem is the # in your string. I'm assuming you are testing
something like this.
<cfset detail = '"#7-Bodi - 25 votes"'>
<cfset votestring = listgetat(detail, 2, "-")>
I'm also assuming that in the real solution you are reading the value
from a file. If this is the case then this will work.
<cffile action="read" file="#ExpandPath('.')#\text.txt"
variable="myOutPut">
<cfset detail = myOutPut>
<cfset votestring = listgetat(detail, 2, "-")>
<cfoutput>
#votestring#
</cfoutput>
Let me know if I'm way off base here with the second assumption.

Subject: using delimiters for a list function
I am trying to access a string as a list to get the second half of it.
Here is the string:
"#7-Bodi - 25 votes"
Here is the code, but it throws an error:
<cfset votestring = listgetat(detail, 2, '-')>
Thanks.
