Replace() looks for a literal string within another string and replaces it with yet a third string: Replace(contentstring, stringtoreplace, replacement);
With REReplace(), you can search for and replace with regular expressions. This makes the function much more powerful and often more useful, but at the expense of overhead. For simple replaces, use the simple replace() :-) If you want to know more about regular expressions, House of Fusion also hosts the CF-RegEx list, on which several of the CF Regex Ninjas answer questions both simple and advanced.
