Duane,
First off your regex probably needs to account for characters other than
A-Z - try
<title>[^<]*</title>
which will match anything other than the opening '<' of the end </title>.
Second, there is a confirmed bug in all current versions of CF. The
ReReplace command is restricted to 20480 characters (20k) for the input
string - if you go beyond this you get a message saying 'bad regular
expression' or something similar. Seeing as how you're working with HTML
documents you might find that you reach this limit. I haven't had chance to
beta test CF5 yet so can't tell you whether it's been fixed. It was
reported as a bug in CF4.
This may be a reason why your regex appears to be 'bad' even if it's 'good'.
One workaround is to use FindNoCase("<title>"), FindNoCase("</title>"), do
the maths and a mid function to find the title text, then replace the title
text with your own text, #PageTitle#, since the standard replace function
works fine.
