I'm not an expert with Regex, but you could do this: <cfset finalDescription = replace(replace(replace(trim(form.description),"<br>","<br/>","all"),"<p></p >","<br /><br />","all"),"<p>","<br /><br />","all") >
Again, this is not regex, but it is a much more simplified (and faster I believe) way of doing the same thing with 1 line of code.

Is there a way using CF's Regex functions to simplfy the lines of code below into one line? Some kind of built in regex list comparison maybe? <cfset finalDescription = replace(trim(form.description), "<br>", "<br />", "ALL")> <cfset finalDescription = replace(finalDescription, "<p></p>", "<br /><br />", "ALL")> <cfset finalDescription = replace(finalDescription, "<p>", "<br /><br />", "ALL")> Thanks, CV ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
