Synopsis

                  REReplace(string, regex, substring [, scope])

Returns string with regex replaced by substring for the specified scope. regex can be any valid ColdFusion regular expression. scope may be set as either One or All, where One results in the replacement of the first occurrence of the regular expression, and All results in the replacement of all occurrences of the regular expression. The default scope is One. REReplace( ) performs a case-sensitive search. Here’s an example that demonstrates the use of this function:

<cfset OriginalString="T8h3i53s 1i2s3 8a3 t3e2s9t.">
<cfset NewString = REReplace(OriginalString, "[[:digit:]]", "", "ALL")>
   
<cfoutput>
Original String:  #OriginalString#<br>
New String:  #NewString#
</cfoutput>
