If you need something like that, you can always create a Java string.
jstrText = CreateObject("java", "java.lang.String").Init( strCFString );
jstrText.replaceAll("((?<ben )is cool)", "very $1");
The java string supports excellent REgEx maniuplation including look behind,
look ahead (and the negative of both). Just be careful, it uses $N instead
of CF's \N for group refernce.
