Suggestions on how to replace the sequential newlines?
I tried this...

<cffile         action          = "read"
                file            =
"e:\inetpub\webroot\real_estate_data\hmls\data\2008_0918_idx_custom\active_photos.txt"
                variable        = "active_photos" />
                        
<cfset active_photos = #replace("active_photos", 
"#chr(10)&chr(13)##chr(10)&chr(13)#", "", "All")#>

<cffile action          = "write"
                file            =
"e:\inetpub\webroot\real_estate_data\hmls\data\2008_0918_idx_custom\active_photos_edited.txt"
                output          = "#active_photos#" />

That just gave me a file with the text, "active_photos", and a return symbol 
after it...

Thoughts?
