Ok, this is strange. That RegEx works in Java.... so CF isn't using the
JDK-provided RegEx implementation? Looks like it's using the Perl 5
implementation. Seems counter-productive (if my assumption is correct, of
course).
Anyway, with that implementation, here's what I came up with.
<cfscript>
searchString = "</organization><title>";
matchStruct = StructNew();
matchStruct = REFind("(</organization>)(?=\s*<title>)",searchString,1,true);
trueMatch = Mid(searchString, matchStruct.pos[1], matchStruct.len[1]);
</cfscript>
<cfdump var="#trueMatch#">
