The simple form, 1 pair of tags would be:
<cfset input = "<number>12345</number>">
<cfset Extract = ReReplaceNoCase(input, "<number>([^<]*)</number>", "\1")>
<cfoutput><br>#Extract#</cfoutput>
A more general case is to extract multiple pairs into a tab-delimited list
<cfset input = "<number>11</number><number>12</number><number>13</number>">
<cfset Extract = Trim(ReReplaceNoCase(input, "<number>([^<]*)</number>",
"\1#Chr(9)#", "ALL"))>
<cfoutput><br>#Extract#</cfoutput>
