Escaping characters
Does anyone know how to escape charachters in SQL server - to be more specific I am buiding a string where I need to escape a double quote so the string isn't prematurely completed. __ Your ad could be here.

escaping characters
My situation is this: (please help) I am pulling in an XML document through WDDX and assigning the result of a particular fieldname to an element within my two-dimensional array (all the data that is generated is dynamic - no way to hardcode the escaping character). cfset arrClip[#counter#][5] = #SOURCETAPENUMBER# When trying to do this i get an Unknown exception error. So i conducted a little test to see if i could get around this, but using the Replace function. cfset SOURCETAPENUMBER = CR#1-12 !--- which is dynamic, but for example purposes, hardcoded.--- cfset temp = Replace(SOURCETAPENUMBER,#,##,ALL) Invalid parser construct found on line 10 at position 18. ColdFusion was looking at the following text: 1 The error seems to arise from just the declaration of the of the string (CR#1-12) to the variable (SOURCETAPENUMBER). Need some sound advice. Is there a custom tag that will escape all CF special characters? or a different way to handle this situation. Thanks for any help. Dan __ Daniel Spindler Senior Web Architect Michael J.
