CFLib.org – Common Function Library Project

Description:
Returns string with all occurrences of the elements from the specified comma-delimited list being replaced with their corresponding elements from another comma-delimited list. The search is case-insensitive. If an item does not appear in the second list, the item from the first list is replaced with an empty string. Chr(31) is used to mark empty elements, so if there is the possibility of a string containing (and needing) this character, the function should not be used as is.

Return Values:
Returns a modified list.

Example:

<cfset orig = "It's too soon to say">
<cfoutput>
original list: #orig#<br>
modified list: #ReplaceListNoCase(orig, "it's,soon,say", "early,tell")#
</cfoutput>

Parameters:
