Here's the UDF code and a quick example:
<cfset list = '1,2,2,12,12,15'>
<cfdump var="#REListFindNoCaseMultiple('12',list)#">
<cfscript>
/**
* When given a list of values, returns a list of element locations that
match a given regular expression.
*
* @param reg_expr The regular expression for the search. (Required)
* @param tlist The list. (Required)
* @param delims List delimeter. Defaults to a comma. (Optional)
* @return Returns a list of matches.
