Use ReReplace with Evaulate

Question

Hi,

I have a page that I am passing the letter "X" through a hidden field to my action page. But when I try to output the "X", it put the single quotes around the X like this 'X'. How can I remove the single quotes from displaying on the page? I was thinking using the ReReplace function, but I'm not sure how to write this code with the Evaluate function. Here's what I have:

#Evaluate("form.Flag_Comments#id#")#

</cfif>

How can I incorporate this with the Evaluate function above:

#ReReplace(cookie.class, "\'", "", "ALL")#

I think this will remove the single quotes, correct? Thanks.

I don't see anything called cookie.class in your sample code, so not sure

what you're trying to strip single quotes out of, but think of your form

structure as a structure and don't use Evaluate() at all:

#form["Flag_Comments#id#"]#

If you just want single quotes out of your form test, you don't need RegEx

for that:

<cfif structKeyExists(form, "Comments#id#") and

replace(form["Comments#id#"], "'", "", "all") neq ""

JMF,

Thank you. I was not able to get the structKeyExists to work, but I was able to get it to work this way:

#Replace(form["Flag_Comments#id#"], "'", "", "all")#

</cfif>

The cookie above was just an example of what I had somewhere else of how to not display the single quotes on the page. Thanks again!
