i was going to say listLast() as well...but getFileFromPath() (as suggested by everyone else so far) sounds like the better option.

If you got this list from a CFDIRECTORY tag, you may want to use the FILTER option instead to automatically only return files named .96.

RE: String manipulation
Martin wrote: ...so when in the loop how do I parse the current line.. eg..check the current line for certain characters, and if it passes the check I copy the string to a new entry in an array. Try this within the loop Steve suggested: cfif Find(idx, "some string") neq 0 cfset some_array[ArrayLen(some_array)+1][1] = idx /cfif That's assuming you want to capture the whole line. Also note that a structure might be an easier solution than an array unless you need the multi-dimensionality. If you use an array, don't forget to define it prior to the loop with ArrayNew(x) where x is the number of required dimensions. Valid numbers are 1-3.

RE: String manipulation
If you're trying to parse a text file line by line, it's typically done by looping over the file, as a list, using an appropriate EOL character(s) as the delimiter. In this case I'll use ASCII character 13, the carriage return. Try something like this (if it's what you need): CFSET int_count = 0 CFLOOP List="#FileContents#" Delimiters="#Chr(13)#" Index="idx" CFSET int_count = (int_count + 1) CFOUTPUT !--- 'idx' will be a line of the file --- !--- Ex.
