If you'd like you can use the underlying java implementation of replaceAll.
Cfset str = ~{Test Information2/a/li~{Test Information/a/li~{Test
Information4/a/li~{Test Information/a/li /
cfdump var=#str.replaceAll( ([a-zA-Z0-9])/a/li, $1}~/a/li )#
/
Should show: ~{Test Information2}~/a/li~{Test
This might be more of what you are looking for. It captures special
characters as well and should fit more in line to what you want.
Cfset str = ~{Test Infor$%mation2$/a/li~{Test
Information/a/li~{Test Information4/a/li~{Test Information/a/li
/
cfdump var=#str.replaceAll( (~\{.*?)/a/li,
Give this a go:
cfset Result = InputText.replaceAll
( '~\{(?:(?!/a).)+(?!\}~)(?=/a/li)'
, '$0}~'
) /
It uses the java replaceAll regex function so that it can do the negative
lookbehind to ensure existing correct items are not changed, meaning it can be

I think you want something like this:
cfif REFindnocase(([\s\]#badword#[\s\]),skills)
You may want to expand it to non-alphanumeric wrappers, though, to catch
punctuation: he gave her a kiss.
cfif REFindnocase(([\W]#badword#[\W]),skills)
which is the same as
cfif
Not sure what I am doing wrong but this is not working.
I have the string kissess are goodbrkissbrthe girlfriend
Kiss is a badword, and this regexp is not picking it up.
Please advise and thanks for your help.

I think you want something like this:
cfif
Hm, that should work, certainly. Did you try that 3rd option?
cfif REFindnocase(([^a-zA-Z0-9_]#badword#[^a-zA-Z0-9_]),skills)
That should find any use of the word 'kiss' when it's surrounded by any
non-alpha characters. Sadly I don't have access to my CF environment right at
the moment,
Forgot about Ryan Swanson's slick little tool. It certainly validates and
picks up the middle 'kiss' in his validator, using either '\W' or '^a-zA-Z0-9_'
as the filter:

Offhand, I think your best bet is to use a regex to identify everything
from the @ to the TLD, then use the len returned by refind to do a
replace of it. There are a number of really good regexes for
finding/dissecting emails out there. CFLib.org is a good place to start.

Not really sure what exactly you are looking to do, but the regular
expression pattern for numbers under 100 with 7 decimals would be:

This makes the decimal optional (with 1 to 7 decimal places). Of course,
this does not protect AGAINST numbers over one hundred. For that you

If this is the actual code you are using, you are creating an infinite

REFind. It will keep matching the first {}.
It really depends what you are trying to grab. If you are trying to get
only the inner parentheses it is not too
On CFMX
stTmp = REFindNoCase('msg:(.*?);',str,1,true);
if(stTmp.pos[1]){

else {
message = ;
}
ON CF5
stTmp = REFindNoCase('msg:(([^]|[^;])*);',str,1,true);
if(stTmp.pos[1]){

If you need to find all, you do it in a loop:

results = ArrayNew(1);
How about this?

I am fairly new to RegEx, but I can tell you we did this on our University's site when
I was in college.
We allowed the different departments to submit formatted text using an assortment of
HTML tags that we specified.
We used RegEx to do this, and did not notice a performace hit at all.
If you have a limited range of accepted tags then the following will probably be your
best bet.
1. find all of the tags you want to allow.
2. replace their brackets with some non-standard character (like a yen symbol).
3. remove all other tags that exist.
4. replace your yen with brackets

Going from limited memory of the subject here, but try something like this:

I think the \w means you are looking for whole words. Or it might be \W...

You could just find the first head, store the position, find the next head,
store the position, and then just use mid(string,pos+6,pos-1) to strip the
middle out
maybe there is a more efficient way

Try using
cfset string=rereplace(string,(head)[[:print:]]*(/head),,all)
That should find anything with a beginning of head and an ending of
/head and strip them out and any printable character in between with an
empty string. I'm not sitting at a coldfusion enabled server, so I can't

Yeah, square brackets define a class to match against, and clasess are or'ed
together.
[^ ] would match everything that

I find that:
[0-9]
is clearer and easier to type than:
[:digit:]
of course, I'd rather have:
\d
I do very well without ever using the posix-style.

John,
You almost had it (too many brackets):
cfif REFindNoCase([[:Alpha:][:Punct:]], myString)
Alpha characters or punctuation were found.
cfelse
No alpha characters or punctuation found.
/cfif
If you need to get the position of the first occurance of these characters,
use subexpressions:

OT: are there any statistics on how many developers regexp has made bald?

Re: use of regular expressions for parsing html
One can reliably use regular expressions to parse html if it is
html that you have direct and full editorial control over.
That is, if you hand edit the html, AND you can keep all your
requirements in mind, then you can use with some success
This works.
CFSET theString = "meta name=""pubdate"" content=""Fri, 23 Mar 2001
07:00:00 GMT"""
CFSET st = reFindNoCase("(content="")(.*)(GMT"")",theString,1,"TRUE")
CFOUTPUT#mid(theString,st.pos[3],st.len[3])#/CFOUTPUT
The two pieces are:
1) Creating the regularExpression
2) understanding
Mallory,
Try this:
cfset newVar=REFind(varWithHTML,'meta name="pubdate"[^]+')
That should return the string;
meta name="pubdate" content="[some date]"
Which you can then extract the date from.
Good luck!

This should work if you want the GMT included:
REFINDNOCASE("meta name=""pubdate"" content=""([a-zA-Z0-9,: ]+[^"])""",
YourStringNameGoesHere)
This should work if you don't want GMT:
REFINDNOCASE("meta name=""pubdate"" content=""([a-zA-Z0-9,: ]+[^GMT"])""",
YourStringNameGoesHere)
Remember CF
Leaves table tags in:
cfset
VariableWithTags=#REReplaceNoCase(VariableWithTags,'table([[:alpha:]]|[[:s
pace:]]|[[:punct:]])+/table','table/table')#
Removes table tags:
cfset
VariableWithTags=#REReplaceNoCase(VariableWithTags,'table([[:alpha:]]|[[:s
pace:]]|[[:punct:]])+/table','')#

Firstly I'd like to mention that doing this is playing with fire. ;)
Yeah, of course it is ;)
Secondly, I'd suggest three replaces:
1. Replace application.cfm with an easily recognisable other string without
application in the name.
2.
