divide based on what criteria? Have you looked at the list functions in the
docs?

This isn't very elegant, but should get the job done.



<CFSET size1 = ListLen(longList) \ 3>
<CFSET size2 = size1 * 2>
<CFSET list1 = "">
<CFSET list2 = "">
<CFSET list3 = "">
<CFSET count = 1>

<CFLOOP INDEX="i" LIST="#longList#'>
<CFIF count LE size1>
<CFSET list1 = ListAppend(list1, i)>
<CFELSEIF count LE size2>
<CFSET list2 = ListAppend(list2, i)>
<CFELSE>
<CFSET list3 = ListAppend(list3, i)
</CFIF>
</CFLOOP>

I think you will need to provide additional detail about how you want them divided up. Do you want them relatively equal, split after a certain point, what?
