coldfusion - How to use Replace() to replace HTML encoded characters in a string -

i have html encoded content i'm placing in meta tag. need replace line breaks in represented in html encoded text <br />.

i thought this:

#replace(rsresult.description, '<br />', '', 'all')#

but keeps throwing error. html encoded part want remove whats causing issue. don't know why cf can't treat part text remove string.

how successfully?

you need escape # character. code should #replace(rsresult.description, '<br &##x2f;>', '', 'all')#
