Ian, upon your building your parsed list, can't you just specify an obscure
delimiter like a pipe | character? I've always done it this way and been
quite effective on comma formatted numbers like you have.
I don't build the parsed list; I am reading it from a CSV file. In this

I think there is some kind of CSV parser UDF on cflib.
I don't even want to think about how to do this, cuz it'd be freakin' hard.
For example, what if you've got a quoted value in your list with quotes
in it?
cfset list = '1,2,2,045,This would suck, he said.'
