I want to treat nulls as blanks in a section of code. Bootstrap.actionRoot often does not exist.

I want to be able to do something like

body.replacelist("~/", Bootstrap?.actionRoot)

body.replacelist("~/", "#Bootstrap?.actionRoot#")

But it wont work because Bootstrap?.actionRoot is null. Is there a single statement approach to deal with this.

Check the existence and the length separately. You can't do it in one check. Unfortunately this isn't like groovy – Matt Busche Feb 27 '16 at 23:22
cfparam is such an easy tag to use. – Dan Bracuk Feb 28 '16 at 12:33
The issue with `` is that it changes `Bootstrap.actionRoot`. I was hoping `?.` could eminate ``. Maybe this is a case where it can't – James A Mohler Feb 28 '16 at 18:03
