isn't it CRLF, or "#CHR(13)##CHR(10)#"? Jerry Johnson
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/20/01 11:52AM >>> Kay, You may be creating a false control charachter. On a pc, return breaks are "#CHR(10)##CHR(13)#", not just #CHR(13)#. DRE -----Original Message----- From: Kay Smoljak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 11:47 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Text documents - funny characters Hi all, I have text passages that were entered through a web-based interface using cf_htmlarea_lite. This tag uses the MS dhtml edit thingy, so it formats everything with copious amounts of pointless markup. I am pulling this info from the database, and stripping the html tags out to send it an email as a text attachment. To get rid of the html, I am using: <cfset body = ReReplaceNoCase(myQuery.body,"<[^>]*>","","ALL")> For some reason there tends to be non-breaking spaces where there should be line breaks, so I then do: <cfset body = ReplaceNoCase(body," ","#chr(13)#","ALL")> If I open the resulting file in Notepad, I get strange square characters between some of the words. If I paste the text from Notepad into Studio, resave it, and open again in Notepad, the square characters are not there. What's the story? Any idea what could be causing this? More to the point, any idea how to fix it?
