Something like <CFSET sNewString = REReplace(sOldString, "[[:punct:][:space:]]", "", "ALL")>
HTH -----Original Message----- From: Jeff D. Chastain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 6, 2002 17:31 To: CF-Talk Subject: Regular Expression Help I am trying to use a regular expression to change all possible special characters in a string to underscores because I am trying to use the string as a variable name. Regular expressions are not my specialty and I am running into problems using some characters in my reReplace function. Could somebody offer some suggestions on making this work? I am needing to replace !@#$%^&*()-+={[}]|\:;"'<,>.?/ plus a blank space, all with the _ character.
