RE: Slightly OT question ...

[BOROVOY Noam]

Bert,

Just a quick correction - the list of delimiters is a set of delimiter
characters - it itself is not comma delimited... 
(no need to either as each item is a single char)

so your code below would also count all commas in the mystring...

HTH,
Noam

        Better way would be to use a comma delimited list of delimiters - i
forgot
        you could have more than one:

        <cfset mydelimiters = chr(13) & "," & chr(10)>

        No. of lines = #ListLen(mystring, mydelimiters)#
