Phillip,
Assuming the page numbers are the first thing on the line and only 3
characters long???
<select name="filelist" size="5" multiple>
<CFLOOP var="results" delimiters="#CHR(13)##CHR(10)#"
INDEX="OneLineAtATime">
<CFSET variables.PAGE_number=left(Variables.OneLineAtATime,3)>
<option
value="#variables.page_number#">#variables.page_number#</option>
</CFLOOP>
</SELECT>
Just grab the first 3 as you loop through each line.
Hope this helps.
Galen
PS As normal, code was not tested :P
