<cfscript>
     variables.myChar = "";
     variables.posToGet = "5,6";
     variables.str = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
     for (variables.i=1; variables.i LTE len(variables.str); variables.i=variables.i+1) {
          if (listFind(variables.posToGet, variables.i)) {
               variables.myChar = listAppend(variables.myChar, mid(variables.str, variables.i, 1));
               if (listLen(variables.myChar) GTE listLen(variables.posToGet)) {
                    break;
               }
          }
     }
</cfscript>


This sample creates a comma-delimmited list of the characters that are in the positions that you select.

Or, if you know that you always want the character from position 5 in the string, you narrow it down to this...


<cfscript>
     variables.str = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
     variables.myChar = mid(variables.str, 5, 1);
</cfscript>

Just curious here, but did you even bother reading my post?  I gave you a sample (2 actually) that you can adapt to solve your problem.  We're here to help, but not to do your work for you.
