Get value from CGI string

I have cgi.path_info that is always formatted like this

/data/show/80865

How do I get the ALWAYS numeric value after show/

For example, in this case, I want to get the 80865 value.

Correct answer WolfShade

This can easily be done, if you treat the value as a list with / being the delimiter.

<cfset variables.thisNumber = ListLast(cgi.path_info,'/') />

BTW.. for anyone who likes complex for the sake of complexity you can use RegEx.

<cfset variables.thisNumber = REmatch("\d+$",cgi.path_info)[1] />
