There are two problems with this. First, in CF, you can't really use multiple characters as a single delimiter very easily. All of the tags and functions that allow list manipulation accept a delimiters attribute or argument, but if you specify multiple characters in that, it just means that ANY ONE of those characters will be accepted as a delimiter! Second, anything that can be typed in, will be typed in by somebody, given a large enough sample of people. If you're building the lists yourself, I'd recommend using a non-printable ASCII character as the delimiter. I usually use Chr(7) - the bell character.

RE: Delimiters
A while back on this list Dave Watts suggested using a bell (chr(7), or Cntl-G for the more old school) for a delimiter, since it's a non-printable. I've used it ever since and saved myself a lot of headache.

Re: Delimiters...
I think this is the right track... here's my problem... I'm calling a module I want to add the upload type in this someplace such that the upload field has a corresponding mime type. ex UploadFields="ProductionImage;image/jpeg , ProductionClip;application/rm" what I'm basically getting is a list within a list? If I then loop over the fields can i do the following? If I can do this, I'm a happy dude!

RE: Delimiters...
Your variable Name is already a list, why try to deal with it as a string? You can use all of the list functions on it. In your case, #firstName# #lastName# would yield the same results. Check into the CF fuctions pertaining to working with lists.
