How to do a replace on a sting witch contains an ASCII Char

[_G_1]

Hi All,

I have a string named 'EMAIL_BODY' which contains the following text 'Blah blah &#39 blah blah'  What I want to do is replace &#39 with '

How am I able to do this? as I think I need to escapse the & and # ?

Many thanks,

George

Well if you're using the # in CFML you'll most likely need to escape references to it by using ## instead.

<cfset EMAIL_BODY = "Blah blah &##39 blah blah">

<cfset newBODY = replace(EMAIL_BODY, "&##39", "&##39;", "ALL")>

<cfdump var="#variables#">
