there are lot of ways to do this.. personally I don't like to use the
Dot. as it matches everything.. and will get you into trouble.. if you
have something like the following..
tempstring = "something 'add==insert' whatever 'edit==update'"
the dot will match you.. 'add==insert' whatever 'edit==update'
below will match 'add==insert' and 'edit==update' separately.
<cfscript>
re = "('[A-Za-z0-9\s]*)==([A-Za-z0-9\s]*')";
REReplace(tempString, re, "\1=\2", ALL);
</cfscript>
