It'd be easy to do with a small handful of regular expressions. I'm sure
someone has probably put out a UDF or something to do a decent scrubbing.
If not, we'll start one over on CF-RegEx.

:
: We've got significant user-updatable content in which HTML is

: occasionally see a problem with odd characters when a user does a
: cut & paste
: from something like Word.
:
: What is a good way to scrub these characters from the content?
: Ideally, we'll
: do this when the content is written to the db field, and may have
: to go through
: much of the data we have and correct this. For the time being,
: though, since
: we've already got a bit of content with these characters and I'd
: like to scrub
: it when it's displayed. I can replace some characters on a
: case-by-case basis
: (Word 'bullets' and right-quotes are most common) but would
: rather have a more
: general means of replacing these.

: Thanks,
