I am trying to loop over all form fields and strip out certain characters and will be performing other cleanup type actions.
For simplicity tho I am just sticking with one action till I get that right.
1.) I want to loop over all form fields,
2.) then perform cleaning action,
3.) then reset the form fields values to the new cleaned-up value.
Below code doesn't break, but I am not accomplishing goal 2 or 3 here. Help?
<cfif not StructIsEmpty(form)>
<cfloop collection="#form#" item="i">
<cfif i neq "fieldnames">
<cfset returnVar = "#evaluate(i)#">
<cfset returnVar = #replaceNoCase("returnVar"
<cfset form.i = "#returnVar#">
<cfoutput>
#i# = #evaluate(i)#<br>
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfelse>
Form Struct Empty <br><br>
</cfif>

this isn't for points, just and fyi... you don't need #'s when assigning a value to a variable in the case above...
<cfset form[i] = #rereplaceNoCase(form[i], "['""## !@$%^&*()+={}|\/?<>,]", "" , "all")#>
should be...
<cfset form[i] = reReplaceNoCase(form[i], "['""## !@$%^&*()+={}|\/?<>,]", "" , "all") >
they both work, it's just better style and coding to not use extra #'s when they're not required...

It looks as if you might be trying to do a RegEx replace, and with a couple minor code modifications the following will do just that:
<cfif not StructIsEmpty(form)>
<cfloop collection="#form#" item="i">
<cfif i neq "fieldnames">
<cfset form[i] = #rereplaceNoCase(form[i], "['""## !@$%^&*()+={}|\/?<>,]", "" , "all")#>
<cfoutput>
#i# = #form[i]#<br>
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfelse>
Form Struct Empty <br><br>
</cfif>
Let me know if I am off-base,
Thanks,
Ben
