The only way I could find around it was to change the RegEx so that the
double quotes for the value attribute became part of sValue:


sRegEx = "([^>]* value=?)(""[^""[:space:]]*"")([[:space:]>][^>]*>)";
sSource = "<input type=""Text"" name=""Address"" value="""" />";
sValue = """23 Main St.""";

sTmp = REReplaceNoCase(sSource, sRegEx, "\1#sValue#\3", "all");

Not sure if this is aesthetically pleasing as it could be, but it works :o)

In playing around with this, I realised that there is no way to escape the
backslash in a backreference in CF, is this just a Cold Fusion thing, or is
there no allowance for such wackiness in Posix RE?
