<cfset CommaSeperatedList = replace(form.myList, chr(13), ",", "All")>

Just replace form.myList with the correct form field name.

Should work

Subject: Convert Textarea to List?

My form has a textarea in which a user can input multiple values, one
per
line, eg:

Green eggs and ham
Biscuits
Orange juice

On form submission, the value of form.textarea is a string "Green eggs
and
ham Biscuits Orange juice"

I want to convert the above to a comma delimited list, eg:

"Green eggs and ham, Biscuits, Orange juice"

I've been trying to use REReplace to replace new line returns with
commas -
unsuccessfully. Replacing spaces isn't working either because lines 1
and 3
have spaces in them but should each be considered a single list item.

I know this is done all the time, just not by me.  Advice? Thanks.
