There are a couple of UDF's over the cflib.org that are designed to strip the markup out of the MS content.
HTH -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource Sacramento, CA -----Original Message----- From: Paul Giesenhagen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 5:50 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Stripping out MS Word Characters We have an issue, and I am hoping someone has dealt with this before. We are importing over a thousand articles from a MS SQL database into a MySQL database. The actual article content has been saved to the MS SQL Database with Ektron's EWebEditPro in which the editors used MS Word to write their content and then copy and pasted it into the article editor that was then saved into MS SQL server. The problem is all kinds of characters from single quotes to double quotes and a slew of other characters are converting over to look like chinese characters. I need to replace all of those MS Word characters for single quotes and spaces to raw text. Anyone have any suggestions?
