Replacing a placeholder value with uniquely named input fields - coldfusion

Question

I have the following code where I have a placeholder inside my saved content. I want to replace the placeholder value with an input field. I am able to do that successfully. However, I need to rename all of the input checkbox fields differently like 1,2,3,4, but without using the JSoup library because that is kind of overkill here. Is there anything else I can try?
<cfsavecontent variable="h">
<cfoutput>#mytable.h#</cfoutput>
</cfsavecontent>
<cfset h= Replace(h,"[Check Box]","<input type='checkbox' name='abc' id='abc'>","all")>
The above creates checkboxes with the same name, which I do not want.

This is ugly and kind of brute-force-ish, but it should give you an idea of one way you can approach this issue.
<!--- Whatever your h value comes from --->
<cfset h = "[Check Box] Some text. <br>
[Check Box] Some text. <br>
[Check Box] Some text. <br>
[Check Box] Some text. <br>
[Check Box] Some text. <br>
[Check Box] Some text. <br>
[Check Box] Some text. <br>
[Check Box] Some text. <br>
">
<!---
We replace the searched for text with a single character delimiter
so that we can count elements. We also append a nonsense character
to the string to make sure that if our searh string is the first
thing in the full string, it will still get replaced.
--->
<cfset changeDelims = replace('a' & h,"[Check Box]","|","All")>
<!---
Now we can count how many elements are in the main string. This
will tell us how many times we need to replace our substring.
--->
<cfset howMany = listLen(changeDelims,"|")-1>
<!---
Now loop through your string for the number of times we have that
substring and replace it.
--->
<cfloop from="1" to="#howMany#" index="i">
<cfset replaceStr = "<input type='checkbox' name='abc#i#' id='abc#i#'>")>
<cfset h = replace(h,"[Check Box]", replaceStr)>
</cfloop>
<!--- Which gives us.... ---->
<cfoutput>#h#</cfoutput>
