I must be missing something: here is what I have, trying to use a UDF.
The testing file name is ^@#$% $rt4o.txt
When I run it through this code newfile is D:\documents\^@#$%$rt4o.txt
I left the space separate for testing, the space is remove but none of the
other chars are
<CFSCRIPT>
Function removestrangechars(pagestring){
temppage = REReplaceNoCase(pagestring, " ", "", "all");
temppage = ReplaceNoCase(temppage, "[@##$%^&*()]", "",
"all");
return temppage;
}
</CFSCRIPT>
<CFOUTPUT>
<CFSET newfile = getpagename(form.filename)>
<CFSET newfile = "D:\Documents\"& removestrangechars(newfile)>
#newfile#
</CFOUTPUT>
thanks

Since CF treats # as a variable marker, you have to escape it. Just use ##
to mean one #.
Also, instead of doing multiple REReplaces, use []s.
Ie, tempstring = REREplace(tempstring,"[ @##etc]","","ALL");
