Replace Revisited 1

[Michael42]

Hello All,

I need your advice on strings and replaceNoString() please. In a variable I am trying to replace the string &amp with &. My replace funcion is not working, i.e. no errors but does not replace the desired string.

What can you suggest?

<cffunction name="replaceBadCharacters">
   <cfargument name="sOldString">
   <cfset sNewString = replaceNoCase(sOldString,"&amp;amp","&")>
   <cfreturn sNewString>
</cffunction>

Thanks,

Michael42

try
<cfset sNewString = replaceNoCase(sOldString,"&amp;amp","&", "all")>

If you don't ask the right questions, you don't get the right answers. A question asked in the right way often points to its own answer. Asking questions is the ABC of diagnosis. Only the inquiring mind solves problems.

bombboy,

Thanks for your post. It still does not seem to be changing anything. Does not add or change it in any way. Kinda weird. Can you suggest anything else?

Thanks again,

Michael42

bombboy,

Update - after further investigation it seems it was a problem with a ColdFusion MX XML function. I took your code and created a separate model and it worked perfect.

I'll post the XML function culprit if anyone would like to know the details.

bombboy - thanks again,
