Your missing a quote
<cfset ReportId =#REFind("report_id=""([0-9]+)"", myString, 1, true)#>
This is your original string. the first quote says your starting the string. The 2
quotes after the = is seen by CF as a literal quote within a string. The second group
of 2 quotes are also seen as a literal quote within a string. What's missing? The
quote that closes the string.
<cfset ReportId =#REFind("report_id=""([0-9]+)""", myString, 1, true)#>
I use single quotes within functions in order to avoid such issues:
<cfset ReportId =#REFind('report_id="([0-9]+)"', myString, 1, 1)#>
