Absolutely nothing I've tried works, including
replace(variable, 'a', ':', 'all') (system won't accept the 'all')
or replace(variable, "a", "'''"", "all")
I've even been trying scripts -- I cannot get a " to replace
anything else. Generally, when I return the string, the majority of
it just disappears, otherwise, I get an error message about the
line with replace()
I would remain concerned, though, if '"' or """" did not
work. It suggests
there's something wrong with your CF install (can't think
what else it
would be).
Can you post the entire code block of an example that DIDN'T
work?
Hi - I spent 14 hours yesterday finishing my application and
just used what worked. I'll try to reproduce the error early this
week and will get back to you.
