Hmmm, in that case I'd probably replace out any JS ones first, then run the above, then swap back in the JS ones.
And the easiest way of doing that would probably be something like this: <cfset Text = JREReplace(Text,"(?=<script[^>]*>).*?(?=</script>)",RemoveJsAmp,"all")/> [code from above] <cfset Text = JREReplace(Text,"(?=<script[^>]*>).*?(?=</script>)",RestoreJsAmp,"all")/> Where JREReplace is a handy function by Ben Nadel which allows use of regex callback functions. ( See http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=blog:191.view ) And the two callback functions mentioned above would be along the lines of: <cffunction name="RemoveJsAmp"> <cfargument name="Text"/> <cfreturn REReplace(Arguments.Text,'&','{{AMP}}','all')/> </cffunction> <cffunction name="RestoreJsAmp"> <cfargument name="Text"/> <cfreturn REReplace(Arguments.Text,'{{AMP}}','&','all')/> </cffunction> > > Assuming what you're actually asking is how to escape any ampersands > > > that are not part of an existing entity, try this... > > Hhm, yeah that might work.
