Barney:

here what I got
<cfset string_1=REReplace("The Sound. of A & M's","&","&amps;","ALL")>
<cfset string_2=REReplace(string_1,"'","&apos;","ALL")>

What I am hoping for is a 1 liner will detected & ' and translate it to &amps; 
&apos;

Can it be done?

You don't need a regex, just a pair of simple replaces will do it. And actually, htmlEditFormat() would do it just as easily, and catch

<, >, and " too, though I don't think it'll do the apostrophe.
