sorry for the redundance; my email client didn't pull in the other cf-talk responses 'til after i had already sent it. damn the dark side. so anyways; yeah. multicharacter delimiters would be a major bonus to cf. i don't know why they didn't just allow for a comma delimited list of delimiters when they built their list function; i can only assume the architecture of their string processing engine wouldn't allow for variable length delimiters, although it's easy enough to write such an engine using regular expressions. tis how i wrote my dictionaryreplace function vb at least. ack. phoo. thanks for staying positive. peace homey!
