I wanted to add this to this thread: thread232-186217
But it was closed...

So, here's a better way to handle what was being done:
CONCATENATE(REPT("•",len(SomethingSecret)-4),right(SomethingSecret,4))

Which would make something like this:
MySecretPassword

Look like:
••••••••••••word

Hope someone else finds this useful or when I forget how to do this Google will bring me back here...
 
Guess I should test my code first, there isn't a concatenate or rept function in ColdFusion and the bullet symbol crashes the script unless you double the #

So, now for the real coldfusion code:
RepeatString("&##149;",len(SomethingSecret)-4)&Right(SomethingSecret,4)
