<cfset variables.ThisRegex="^[A-Z]+$">
If you want to only accept uppercase or empty string:
<cfset variables.ThisRegex="^[A-Z]*$">
If you want to accept all characters except lowercase:
<cfset variables.ThisRegex="^[^a-z]+$">
The thing is: you were matching a single character. In validation
regexps you generally have to match the entire string. That is why I use
^ (matches beginning of string) and $ (matches end of string).
And you don't need "#variables.ThisRegex#", just do variables.ThisRegex
(the quotes and hashes cancel each other).
