Hmmm, I think I see what you're trying to do there, but it doesn't work.
The files aren't very large at all and I am using CFMX.  I'm not very
good with Regexs so I'm not sure what's wrong, but it seems to not be
stripping anything out.

What version of Cold Fusion? How long is the longest possible string you
are searching through?

If newer than cf 5, or cf 5 and the max string is less than 20KB,

<cfset fieldName="FirstName">
<cfset fieldVal=rereplace(content,".*#fieldName#: +([^ ]+) +.*","\1")>

(I think)
