switch thinks "00" and "0A" are both "0.0"....

function Hex7toStr(Char){
switch (Char)
{
case "00":
newchar = "NUL";
break;
case "0A":
newchar = "LF";
break;
}
return newchar;
}

Is this expected behaviour?

Switch and Case take strings the documentation should explicitely say whether these tags are case-sensitive.

Also, the doc says that the expression should evaulate to a scalar. Is a string normally considered a scalar value?

Your example doesn't throw an error, but there's no CFML code outside of the CFCASE tags. If you were to alter your code as in the following example, you would see that ColdFusion throws an error when it encounters the CFOUTPUT.

test1
The value of x is #x#.
test2
not in case 2

This page states:
"All code within this tag must be within a cfcase or cfdefaultcase tag. Otherwise, ColdFusion throws an error."
This statement is not true (at least in CF MX 6.1), the following code runs just fine:

test1
not in case 1
test2
not in case 2
