Its been a couple of years but I seem to recall once running into an issue where replace would not replace everything in a similar fashion. I think the solution at the time was to run the replace function again, so something like <cfset dirName = Replace(Replace(String," ", "-", "ALL")," ", "-", "All")> However maybe used a regex for it, but might be worth trying the double functions if the string is not huge.
