Give this ago
Just wrote it so haven't tested it, but looks like it would work
<!--- The paragraph --->
<cfset para = "this is some text that would be your string. the string would
then have a <br> tag inserted after ever 50th
space. this string prolly wont be long enouhg but you try it out.">
<!--- split the string into an array using the spaces as the deilimiter --->
<cfset arr = listToArray(para, " ")>
<!--- loop over the array using 50 as the step, that we wont need to loop over
every element --->
<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(arr)#" index="i" step="50">
<!--- insert a line break at the end of every 50th array element --->
<cfset arr[i] = arr[i] & "<br>">
</cfloop>
<!--- convert the array back into a string using the spaces as the delimiter
again --->
<cfset str = arrayToList(arr, " ")>
<!--- output the string --->
<cfoutput>#str#</cfoutput>

Cool, I'll have a crack. I know what you mean. As it is, I barely had
time for Transformers this morning. ;)

Sorry chad - haven't got time to do the coding for you - if I had the
time I wouldn't be working on a Saturday!
Check help for cfloop (Conditional loop), left(), reverse() and
replace() functions.
HTH
Phil.
