Tim: Did you see the tag info in the header of the stripascii.cfm file? All that you need to know is there:
Syntax: <CF_StripASCII STRING="#myvar#" OUTPUT="newString" [STRIP="yes|no"]> (creates a variable called "newString") OR: <CF_StripASCII [STRIP="yes|no"]><CFOUTPUT>#myvar# and some content</CFOUTPUT></CF_StripASCII> I'm using the first syntax, which seems to be working fine for me. If that doesn't work, then I'm not sure what to tell you. I *know* it's working this way on several sites of mine...
