Hey Guys,

I am totally NOT a ColdFusion guy, but the current project I’m on requires it and I am totally lost so I am hoping that the good people of KirupaVille can help me out.

What I am doing is passing a XML formatted string to a .cfc file on a server through the query string. I figure that I’m going to have to escape that string though to avoid errors, if I do, how can I unescape it in ColdFusion? If I do not have to, great…

So I would have a string in my .cfc file, what I want to do is convert it into XML… is this possible in CF? If so, how can I do it?

Thanks guys,
