This is untested, but should be close.
REReplace(string, "[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+\.cfm\?code=([A-Z]{2})", "\1.html", "all")
find zero or more a-zA-Z0-9_-, then ".cfm?code=", then any two A-Z and
replace the whole thing with thos upper case letters plus ".html". If
"someCFMFile.cfm" is static, you can replace that character class with
the literal.
