Hi Becky,
What you're looking at is XML and it should be reasonably easy to
convert this into your desired output using CF's native XML tools.
Give this a shot:
<cfxml variable="myxml"><xml>#mystring#</xml></cfxml>
<cfoutput>
Phone number changed from
#myxml.xml.token1.xmlText# to
#myxml.xml.token2.xmlText#
</cfoutput>
I could have given you an XSL template to translate the tokens, but
that's a little more involved -- I figured this would be shorter and
easier to follow in this case.
