This will strip the link tags from around text contained in variable mytext:
<cfset newtext = rereplacenocase(mytext,"(<a [^>]*>)([^<]*)(</a>)","\2","all") /> <cfoutput>#newtext#</cfoutput> Using back-references, \2 refers to the text between the <a></a> tags. I believe that \1 would refer to the <a> tag and associated attributes. \3 would refer to the </a> tag.
