Firstly I'd like to mention that doing this is playing with fire. ;)
Secondly, I'd suggest three replaces:
1. Replace application.cfm with an easily recognisable other string without
application in the name.
2. Replace "([^a-zA-Z0-9])application.([a-zA-z])" with "\1request.\2".
3. Replace the funny string with application.cfm again.
