I'm not sure if I understand exactly what your issue is...
You have a WDDX packet that you have created with CF.
That packet contains variables that you want to extract with CF.
If those two statements are correct, then why not just use:??
<cfwddx action="WDDX2CFML" input="#my_packet#" output="My_CF_Variable">
Then all of the variables are available to you within CF.
Is there something else that we are missing?
Just asking...

Dan,
Not sure what you mean by using WDDX to get the values out.
I had thought of using REFindNoCase with that 4th argument, but I think
it only gives the position of the 1st match. In my case, that would be
the tag name, but I need to get my hands on the value between the tags.
I'm going to try out Dick Applebaum's technique of using REReplace to
create a delimited list of the values.
I appreciate your help.
