I agree about the IDE solving the whitespace issue but a lot of times you need to process an entire folder or project so it's helpful to have it clean it up. Great ones Dan – thanks!

The regex does not explicitly check for the token <cfqueryparam, but instead checks to make sure that CF variables are preceded with the string value="—which is the attribute used in . The regex isn't perfect and may pick up occasional false positives, but from my testing it seems to work pretty well.

I like my IDE just handling this for me, because it’s one less thing I have to manage manually!
