>- see footer for list info -< I might the missing something here, but if it's a case of direct match why bother using regex at all? Just do a direct comparison i.e. <cfif trim(var1) is "string".....
If you need to use regex, I'm pretty sure the string (i.e, "simon") you are trying to match for will be the regex.

So passing in 'simon' would match 'simon' but not 'simon baynes' Make sense, I know I can achieve this by doing a reReplace() and then a len() but I wondered if there was a cleaner way.
