If you consider the variable as a list delimited with spaces you can process
it.
Here is code that I use:
<cfscript>
st="now I lay me down to sleep the Lord I pray my soul to keep If I should
die before I wake the Lord I pray my soul to take";
maxl=100;
ar=listtoarray(st," ");
outar=arraynew(1);
outst="";
for(i=1;i LE arraylen(ar);i= i +1){
if(len(outst)+len(ar[i]) GT maxl){
temp=arrayappend(outar,outst);
outst="";
}
outst=ltrim(outst & " " & ar[i]);
}
if(len(outst)){
temp=arrayappend(outar,outst);
}
</cfscript>
