That's a "since MX" thing -- because all basic types in CF are treated
(at least initially) as Java strings, you can use functions from the
java.lang.String class [1], which includes a function to "tokenise" a
string into an array given a certain token (in this case a comma).

In this case, the split() method [2] can actually perform the split on
more than a single character -- it takes a regular expression as the
delimiter.  It also acts differently as the CF list functions in that is
*doesn't* ignore empty items.

You can use other methods the String class to good effect too: I've used
functions like charAt(), compareTo(), startsWith(), endsWith() and
matches().

Ah the joys of CF sitting on top of Java...  ;)
