You'd treat those characters as a character set like so:
<cfset myString = 'a test ## to see . where I might find % in some string'>
<cfset matches = REFind('[##.\/%]',myString,1,true)>
<cfdump var="#myString#">
<cfdump var="#matches#">
<cfabort>
Putting the characters inside the square brackets forces the regex to look
for each of those chars individually instead of as one string.

Subject: regular expression to find #
I am trying to make a regular expression to find # .. \ / & and % in a
string, but I am new to expressions. Anyone have a good link for beginners
on doing this?
