I simply stated I didn't have the time to figure it out and since it was
sooo simple could someone point me in the right direction... by the way
there are plenty of beginners and advanced people on this list...
<cfset startnum=Find(' ', Reverse(left(MyText,301)) , 1)>
<cfset outvar=#mid(Reverse(left(MyText,301)),startnum,300)#>
#reverse(outvar)#
Here is my final bit of code for all of the beginners and those of us who
are too busy to have ALL of the answers.

PS. I will be at the cf_underground on the expert panel so sorry to have
bothered you.
<grin>

*s* You are welcome to your comments, as I am welcome to mine!
But I just wanted to say that this is an easy thing that even the most basic
programers can figure out... but hey I guess CF attracts a lot of non
programmers then!!!!
