Replace(#message#, '#', '##') - Why error?

[Newyork_az]

<!--- MESSAGE is generated by online visual html editor in this format (message
- <font color="#FF0000">hello word</font>) --->

<!---I do the following --->
<cfset message = JSStringFormat(#message#)>
<!--- Now MESSAGE in this format (message - <font color=/"#FF0000/">hello
word</font>) --->

<!--- Next i want --->
<cfoutput>#message#</cfoutput>
<!--- But I receive a mistake Because of - # - --->

<!---I do the following --->
<cfset message=Replace(#message#, '#', '##')>
<!--- But I receive a mistake too --->

How competently to make replacement in my case??

Put your #message# in double quotes like so ...

"#message#"

that should correct the problem

Try:
<cfset message=Replace(#message#, '##', '####')>

Thanks for advice
Well whereas to be here?
<cfset message=Replace("<font color=#FF0000>hello word</font>", '##', '####')>
How to make replacement then to draw a conclusion without mistakes
If already at replacement the mistake leaves?

Simple rule in CF.

In a CF statement, if you're using a # symbol literally (ie: not in the CF
"evaluate as a variable" sense, but just as the # character), then you have
to escape it.

So you'd need to do this:
<cfset message=Replace("<font color=##FF0000>hello word</font>", '##',
'####')>

Otherwise you're telling CF: "evaluate the expression that is

#FF0000>hello word</font>", '#

Which obviously doesn't make sense.

I can't make out from what you've posted what you're actually trying to
achieve here.

Don't tell us a story, just post the actual code.

You cannot understand that this line <font color = #FF0000> hello word</font>
is generated by Online visual html editor
and I cannot change in it in manual.
I need to make replacement with program way.
There is a decision?
