RE: Replacing ASCII characters

[Owens, Howard]

I'm surprised this isn't working for you.  I can't see much different 
in
what you're doing from what I'm doing in one of my apps:

<cfset bodytext="#Replace(bodytext, "#chr(27)#", " ", "ALL")#"> 

Have you tried this:

        <CFSET newbody_html = "#Replace(FORM.newbody, "#chr(130)#",
"&eacute;",
"ALL")#">
