It doesn't handle punctuation? It does what it says on the tin :-) If you want to remove all the ' first, just replace() them into nothing then do the reg. exp. to handle everything else. Maybe you want <cfset newUrl = reReplaceNoCase(arguments.theString, "[! \/\!""'£$%^&\*\(\)_+-=/-+]", "", "ALL")> <cfset newUrl = reReplaceNoCase(newurl, "[^a-zA-Z0-9]+", "-", "ALL")> or similar (i.e. first one strips anything funny, 2nd one makes anything left that isn't alphanumeric a dash). Watch the escaping on the first expression :-) -- Tom Chiverton Helping to competently visualize one-to-one meta-services on: http://thefalken.livejournal.com **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
