Replacing Special Characters
I am replacing special characters in a string with a hyphen. It works
great except I am stuck on how to get it to work when replacing a #
and when replacing a comma.

<cfif #listContains(ffields,"#")# is not 0><cfset ffields=#Replace
(ffields,"#","-","ALL")#></cfif>

<cfif #listContains(ffields,",")# is not 0><cfset ffields=#Replace
(ffields,",","-","ALL")#></cfif>

Any ideas?

Jen

Replacing Special Characters
If I`m not mistaken, the code should read like this:

<cfif #listContains(ffields,"##")# is not 0>
<cfset ffields=#Replace
(ffields,"##","-","ALL")#>
</cfif>

<cfif #listContains(ffields,",")# is not 0>
<cfset ffields=#Replace
(ffields,",","-","ALL")#>
</cfif>

For CF to know that # is an actual number sign, you have to
type it twice. You might also consider using <cfelse> so
that it doesn`t have to process each if statement.
Depending on how the code is written, that might improve
performance.
