Try treating the text a list with a cr/lf delimeter, and then tret each list item as another list with a delimeter of "=",
-------------------- <cfset input=" [Object] ID=2031 URL=http://www.cnn.com/ OtherSrvLev=0w33a Category=31 "> <cfset input = replace(input,"[Object]","","ALL")> <cfloop list="#input#" delimiters="#chr(10)##chr(13)#" index="i"> <cfscript> setvariable( listgetat(i,1,"=") , listgetat(i,2,"=") ); </cfscript> </cfloop> <cfif isdefined("url")> <cfoutput> <a href="#url#">#url#</a> </cfoutput> </cfif> ---------------------- In this case, you now have the variables ID,URL,OtherSrvLev & Category which can all be used.

So I will be left with a URL alone. Anyone? Michael. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
