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.
As for finding elements in a list that match ".96" (and match at the
END), there are a variety of ways. Here is one:
<CFLOOP INDEX="Item" LIST="#List#">
<CFIF ListLen(Item,".") GT 1 AND ListLast(Item,".") IS "96">
good one
</CFIF>
</CFLOOP>
You need the listlen because ListLast(Item,".") will return true if the
item is JUST 96, not .96.
