>>However you do it, I'd look at a Java StringBuilder or StringBuffer, because any string manipulation with CF over that many lines is going to blow up with a Java out of memory exception since every concatenation or string function call creates another string in memory.
I would rather write a CFX tag in C. C is the ideal language for that, it can replace any character anywhere at a fixed position in a string with only one simple statement without even moving the string in memory, thanks to pointers. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
