Well, that's what I finally arrived at anyway :) But that's a whole 15 minutes of my time wasted :( However, CF makes up for quite a lot of that lost time that I would've otherwise wasted in PHP.
Anyway. I guess character transformations can be done outside CF in Java and then linked to CF. But I'm _not_ going to do that right now. So, I'm stuck with an XML-based solution right now (not that I'm complaining or anything, I just hate XML :) ) On 8/16/06, Everett, Al (NIH/NIGMS) [C] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Couldn't a UDF get close to that? > > <cffunction name="REReplaceByArray" returntype="string"> > <cfargument name="patternArray" type="array" required="yes"> > <cfargument name="replacementArray" type="array" required="yes"> > <cfargument name="stringValue" type="string" required="yes"> > > <cfset var i=0> > <cfset var returnString=""> > > <cfif arrayLen(arguments.patternArray) neq arrayLen( > arguments.replacementArray)> > <cfthrow message="patternArray and replacementArray are > not the same size."> > </cfif> > > <cfset returnString=arguments.stringValue> > > <cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(arguments.patternArray)#" > index="i"> > <cfset > returnString=REReplace(returnString,patternArray[i],replacementArray[i],"all")> > </cfloop> > > <cfreturn returnString> > </cffunction> > > <cfset myString="The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."> > > <cfset patterns=arrayNew(1)> > <cfset patterns[1] = "quick"> > <cfset patterns[2] = "brown"> > <cfset patterns[3] = "fox"> > > <cfset replacements=arrayNew(1)> > <cfset replacements[3] = "bear"> > <cfset replacements[2] = "black"> > <cfset replacements[1] = "slow"> > > <cfoutput>#REReplaceByArray(patterns,replacements,myString)#</cfoutput> > > > Needs a bit of tweaking, but... > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dmitrii Dimandt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2006 12:08 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Transform Unicode characters > > Accepts arrays for both patterns and replacements.
