with Ben's 10 minute book so far... so if there may be a better way to do
this (and if there is, I'm sure somebody will speak up)...but this works:
<cfset testcase ="d 307,569|d307,558|d 221,145|">
<cfset testcase = ReReplace(trim(testcase),"([Dd]\s?)","D","all")>
the problem that I think I see with yours is that you put both the dD and
the space within character classes, which only match a single character. By
taking the space (\s) out of the character class, you're saying, "one upper
or lower 'D' optionally followed by a space (the optional flag being the
'?').
