Don't think a single regEx will do it for ya. You could use the following code though
(mind the wrapping):
<!--- While we still have the string to remove in our text --->
<cfloop
condition="#REFindNoCase('<a[^>]+href=\"javascript:popUpJargonDefinition\([0-9]+\)\">',text)#">
<!--- Remove an occurance --->
<cfset
text=REReplaceNoCase(text,"(.*)<a[^>]+href=""javascript:popUpJargonDefinition\([0-9]+\)"">([^<]+)</a>(.*)","\1\2\3")>
</cfloop>

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.

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.

: Hi Jochem,
:
:
:
: Thanks for the reply (and the others who replied too!).
:
:
:
: Ok let me explain myself a little better. I am outputting a page of
: text
:
: and if the user chooses to turn off the "jargon" links i want to
: strip
:
: all links that look like this out:
:
:
:
: <A class=jargon
: href="javascript:popUpJargonDefinition(2)">article</A>
:
:
:
: You say that would be easy?
:
:
:
: Well i want to keep the text inbetween the <A></A> tags (in this
:
: case "article") and the argument i am passing to the JS function
: could
:
: be ANY number (from 1 to 2000? As this is the ID of the jargon.)
:
:
:
: I need to replace ALL occurences of this text within the large
: string.
:
:
:
: I tried this RegEx below but it didn't work? (sorry for the
: text-wrap)
:
:
:
: <CFSET bodyText = REReplaceNoCase
:
: (publishGetArticleOnContentId.body1,'^.*<A class=jargon
:
: href="javascript:popUpJargonDefinition([0-9]*)">([^<]*)</a>.*$',"\1")>
:
:
:
: Thanks in advance and any help would be appreciated. :)
