Come on, @Simone you know that "something seems not right" is not how to approach asking for help.

For one thing. It's telling you what the problem is. You don't need us to read an error message to you.

07/12/2023, 3:56 PMYou are just getting numbers (which is what the error says). That's because the call to refind is just returning positions in the string. Look at the api for reFind function here: https://docs.lucee.org/reference/functions/refind.html

it seems i am just getting the numbersYes. That's what the error says. What is the number? What does it represent? What were you expecting rather than a number? Why? Did you... read the docs to see what you should be expecting? You can answer all these questions yourself before you solicit help from other people. You just need to be methodical.
