Grab something out of a string

[CoachPrincess]

I want to fetch something in a string and take the part I want out and then output it.

For example, if I have a string such as: (hello) <h2>@ information then I want to grab just this part: <h2>@ and output it just by it self:<h2>@;

My attempt does the opposite and strips the <h2>@ out of the string:

Code:
<cfset>
<cfset>
<cfoutput>#wrd#</cfoutput>

Gives me output of: (hello) information

What is wrong with my code?

Try Refind, search for "<", it returns pos and len. Then you can get the value from that.
