As I wrote in my previous mail, this will not work if you have more than one link in the text. Adding "ALL" when using a regexp that matches start and end (^...$) is pointless, as you can have only one occurrence. Also, this will replace the entire text by just the label between the anchor tag. The remark about the parens is correct, but I already corrected that.

(more detail) <cf_homer>Doh!</cf_homer> I think I see the problem -- the parens. We must escape the set that's actually in the text! <CFSET bodyText = REReplaceNoCase (publishGetArticleOnContentId.body1, '^.*<A class=jargon href="javascript:popUpJargonDefinition\([0-9]*\)">([^<]*)</a>.*$',"\1", 'all')> I also added 'all' to the rereplacenocase() so that it will strip all instances of this, rather than just the first one. Try that. I think it will work better. -- Ben Doom Programmer & General Lackey Moonbow Software, Inc : -----Original Message----- : From: Oliver Cookson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 4:43 AM : To: CF-Talk : Subject: RE: RegEx Help!
