I'm not sure if this is what you're trying to do and it's not working but
the \5 is a back reference used in regular expressions. It means that it's
trying to look for a value contained in memory used within the regex portion
of your REReplace function. You might already know this, so if that's the
case then just disregard this email.

Subject: backslash-digit interpreted in strings


I'm using REReplace and the replacement string contains a "\5".
The string came from a FORM, it was never a literal on a page.
Nonetheless, ColdFusion appears to process it out and it disappears.

Can anyone explain that this is not a straight out bug?
