Doesn't solve the problem. > <cfset lstText = '"this is one, this is another one", "this should be second > item"' /> > > <cfoutput>#listLen(replacenocase(lsttext,',','||'), '||')#</cfoutput> That just replaces the first , - in the "string" with || and so you get a listLen() of 2: "this is one|| this is another one", "this should be second item" And multiple characters do not make a single delimiter. You actually have three elements there but the second - between the two | characters - is empty and CF ignores empty elements in lists. As Barney says, use a proper CSV parser that someone has taken the time and effort to write and debug. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:333735 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
