I usually replace the string with a non-used character (like 0248 - �), then use the list function to handle the lines.
<cfset textarray=ListToArray(replace(content,"[pagebreak]", "�","ALL"), "�")> Not quite as easy (or fast) as split and shift, but it gets the job done.

I want to use a text delimiter for my content that's in a database. I want to use [pagebreak] as the delimiter. In php, I would use: // Split the text into an array of pages $textarray = split("\[pagebreak]", $content); However, in ColdFusion, ListToArray(content, "[pagebreak]") (or some similar function) is interpreted as any of the characters in the [pagebreak] string could be a delimiter (i.e. [ p a g e b r e a k ]).
