Ian, I just had to do this the other day pulling an html based article and stripping the html off to send as text only as well as keeping the format. If WDDX is not what you want to use, follow up on the REReplaceNoCase function that Jochem was talking about. Here is a look at the code that d id it.
<!--- START OF HTML STRIPPING ---> <cfset resultspacket = REReplaceNoCase(resultspacket,"#chr(9)#","","ALL ")> <cfset resultspacket = REReplaceNoCase(resultspacket,"#chr(13)#","","AL L")> <cfset resultspacket = REReplaceNoCase(resultspacket,"#chr(10)#","","AL L")><cfset resultspacket= REReplaceNoCase(resultspacket,"<br>","#chr(13)##chr(10)#","ALL")> <cfset resultspacket = REReplaceNoCase(resultspacket,"<[^>.]+>","","ALL ")> <!--- END OF HTML STRIPPING ---> Basicly I remove any breaks, tabs, and or new lines then I replace the < br> with a carrage retirn and a new line, then I striped the HTML out. This c ode worked out great I hope you can use it.
