Hey list,
I'm trying to replace a double quote in a text field to a single quote. I've
tried using ReReplace, but it still crashes the Cold Fusion server.
What I've done is this:
cfoutput#REReplace(dills,,',ALL)#/cfoutput
See, users tend to like using double quotes in a text field which
Try:
cfoutput#REReplace('dills','',',ALL)#/cfoutput

ReReplace is for using a regular expression. Try Replace. You'll also
need to quadruple the double quotes, something like this should work:
#Replace(dills, , ', ALL)#
That is, the content of each expression is enclosed in double quotes
in this example. When the expression itself contains a
are you using cfqueryparam's on your query? It should escape them on its own I
would think.

ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies
around the world in government. Find out how and where now
replace('dills', '', ', all)
In other words, where you are explicitly writing double-quotes (like for
the find string) wrap in single quotes, and where you are explicitly
writing single quotes (like the replace string) wrap in double quotes.

Didn't think of that, but it's less code to do a replace than the
cfqueryparam.
the cfqueryparam buys you more.
and you should be using it anyway.
