Thanks Rob & Nathan. Actually I was able to come-up with a work-around. The workaround is to put the value inside a local variable outside of the textarea.
This does not create whitespaces: <cfset foovar = methodname(number)> <textarea>#foovar#</textarea> However, this creates the whitespaces: <textarea>#methodname(number)#</textarea> Now its just basically understanding what triggers one over the other. Hmmm. Again many Thanks!! -----Original Message----- From: Rob Wilkerson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2006 4:52 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Eliminating Textarea Whitespaces on UDF retuned values Sorry, I probably should have been more specific. The "\s" should strip any representation of "standard" whitespace. Other non-printing characters will not be stripped. You might want to try using the asc() function to see what at least one of those characters might be: asc ( left ( myString, 1 ) ) If it's not a whitespace character, you may have to try something like: REReplace ( myString, '^[\s\xdd]*', '' ) Where, in this case the "dd" in the character class represents the hexadecimal value of the non-printing character.
