Love your work Kevin. Worked a treat!

Kind regards, Mat.

Mat,

  Are you on MX- because there is a small issue with encoding of character
sets with MySQL I/O . If you're getting squares instead of quotes for
example then try this...

In your application.cfm add the following:
   <cfset setEncoding("url","ISO-8859-1")>
   <cfset setEncoding("form","ISO-8859-1")>
   <cfcontent type="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

Some recommend adding this to each tempolate but I've never seen any
difference...
   <cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1">

But this is the trick I've always had success with...and in the advanced
option, connection string, for the DSN you should add:
   useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=ISO-8859-1

Mat,


Do you mean the "Smart Tags"? Try the following before your insert:

<cfset newtext = Replace(newtext, chr(145), chr(39),"ALL")> <!---
"single open" --->
 <cfset newtext = Replace(newtext, chr(146), chr(39),"ALL")> <!---
"single closed" --->
 <cfset newtext = Replace(newtext, chr(147), chr(34),"ALL")> <!--- "dbl
open" --->
 <cfset newtext = Replace(newtext, chr(148), chr(34),"ALL")> <!---  "dbl
close" --->
 <cfset newtext = Replace(newtext, chr(150), chr(45),"ALL")> <!---"short
hyphen" --->
 <cfset newtext = Replace(newtext, chr(151), chr(45),"ALL")> <!---"long
hyphen" --->
 <cfset newtext = Replace(newtext, chr(133), "&##133;","ALL")> <!---
"elipsis" --->

Regards,

Steve c

Anyone out there come across the issue and even better, a fix, for copying and pasting a word document that contains "Inverted Commas" into

soEditor (or other WYSIWIG HTML Editor) and it saves dodgey characters
(squares, instead of Inverted Commas) into the database (mySQL).

Regards, mat.
