No need to escape that, it'll work as is. It may look funny in editors, but "<" is fine.
But what you really don't need are the #'s around string. --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Richard Colman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 6:59 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Two questions 1) if I want to do a replace where the character to be replaced is a forward or backward angle bracket "<" or ">" then I assume that this will not work: <cfset name = replace(#string1#, "<","", "ALL")> How do I "escape" the bracket character to make it work? 2) this is from the CFFILE doc for action="read": It is not intended for use with large files, such as logs, because this can bring down the server. Will a 500K text file "bring down the server?" TNX for any thoughts. Rick Colman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
