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... ;) Tim.
