I have a form that submits a name field. I would like to take the submitted name and trim off the space and last name, so that in the response message, I can thank them for their submission but only use the first name (i.e., Thanks John instead of Thanks John Doe).

Can this be done? I'm relatively new to CF but enjoying learning.

Yes its easy:

<cfset name = "John Doe" />
<cfset firstName = listGetAt(name, 1, " ") />
<cfoutput>#firstName#</cfoutput>

ListGetAt( "the string", position you want to get, " delimiter " )
