RE: Slightly OT question ...

Hi Bert,

     I just wanted to say thanks for the information.  It was the bit of
code I was looking for to fix my problem.


Cheers

You could use ListLen(yourstring,delimiter) where the delimiter is a "hard
return" - not sure whether you'll need to look for chr(10) or chr(13), or
both:

<cfset mystring = "line 1" & chr(10)
                                          & "line 2" & chr(10)
                                          & "line 3" & chr(13)
                                          & "line 4" & chr(10)
                                          & "line 5" & chr(13)
                                          & "the end">

<cfset chr10 = ListLen(mystring, chr(10))>
<cfset chr13 = ListLen(mystring, chr(13))>

<pre>
<cfoutput>
#mystring#

Number of chr(10) = #chr10#
Number of chr(13) = #chr13#
No of lines = #Evaluate(chr10 + chr13 - 1)#
</cfoutput>
</pre>
