Problem Description:
The delimiter attributes in the replaceList and replaceListNoCase functions cause expression exceptions or unexpected behavior when being a subset of regex special characters such as { ? ( | ) } etc.
Steps to Reproduce:
<cfscript>
x = "abc";
x = replaceListNoCase(x, "a?b?c", "x", "?");
writeDump(x);
</cfscript>
Actual Result:
Exception because the delimiter does not result in a valid expression to use with a regex function.
Expected Result:
Not having to consider regex in replaceList and replaceListNoCase as it is not named reReplaceList/reReplaceListNoCase, right?
Any Workarounds:
Escaping the delimiters that are part of the regex subset.
