Here's what I do:
In my application.cfm file, I have a globally scoped variable called
CRLF like this:
<CFSET CRLF = chr(13) & chr(10) >
Then, in all my templates, whenever I need to take out a carriage
return, I just do the following (this example is changing it to HTML
line breaks):
<cfoutput>
#replacenocase(string,CRLF,"<br>","All")#
</cfoutput>
I use replacenocase as it seems to me their might be a tiny performance
benefit since it's not even
concerned about case (even though that wouldn't matter for special
characters anyway.
I believe you can also do:
replacenocase(string,chr(13)&chr(10),"all")
That should work too.
Hope this helps.
Dave

Subject: Replacing special characters in a string
I have a set of strings that contain carriage returns. I'd like to go
through and strip them out. I figure the REPLACE function would do the
job but I'm not sure how to refer to the carriage returns.
INPUT STRING:
"I am a string with a
carriage return"
OUTPUT STRING:
"I am a string with a carriage return"
Any hints out there?
