I was going to reply and say that this doesn't work, because I've never been able to get [^ (special) ] to work, but then I noticed you used one bracket: [:alnum:]. In the past, I've tried [^[[:alnum:]]] and wasn't able to get it working.
Your code works perfect, and is better than my 0-9a-z thing. (and, thanks for showing me this! I've always reverted to a-z, etc, when I need a ^ type clause.) ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Pascal Peters [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 10:09 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Parsing/Stripping out not letters or numbers > > > #REReplace(myvar,"[^[:alnum:]]","","ALL")# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
