RE: String manipulation
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.

Oh, notice the INDEX="item" code? This says, for every item in the loop, create a variable named "item". That's why I check the value of item.

Try this within the loop Steve suggested: That's assuming you want to capture the whole line. Also note that a structure might be an easier solution than an array unless you need the multi-dimensionality. If you use an array, don't forget to define it prior to the loop with ArrayNew(x) where x is the number of required dimensions. Valid numbers are 1-3.

I want to return everything before the third /
In other words, I want to retrieve the following:
http://www.foobar.com
I am sure there is a simple string function. What am I missing?

RE: String Manipulation help needed
http://www.foobar.com/images/screwy.gif";> #myURL# This code will do it. You can use the "/" as list delimiters, in which you're just grabbing the first two items in the list into a variable. Keep in mind that you're not using the 1st and 3rd item in the list because ColdFusion doesn't include empty list items in its count.

Or you could just use the CGI structure to grab info about the host
name.
I think the one you want is cgi.http_host.
