That is what I am going to have to do.
Jerry Johnson mentioned this in the first post.
I just thought that there might be a way to do both at one time with the
getToken or REFine Functions or the <cfloop> tag.
The documentation of the getToken function was misleading to me.
There was also a line in the documentation about the <cfloop> tag that
mislead me as well.
Now I am straight on this.
"Replace then Parse." ;-)
