A co-worker of mine is using CFWiki for a project of his and he has a
question about something. Here's his email to me. I'll get him to check out
the replies on the website:
-------------------
At the request of a client I have modified the cfwiki code by Ben Raymond.
The new version no longer looks for two capital letters in a single word to
form a link to a new wiki page. It now allows the user to create new pages
by wrapping a word, or group of words, in square brackets [my wiki page]. I
have the cfc working fine for the page creation piece, but I am running
across a problem trying to link to a newly created page from text that
existed prior to the new page creation.  An example of this would be where I
created a new page (let’s call it [my page 11]) from page 10 by editing page
10 and wrapping my page 11 in the square brackets. The link to [my page 11]
shows up on page 10 and works as intended by forwarding me to [my page 11]
when clicked. The problem comes in on page 9, which may also contain the
words my page 11 in the page text.

I can’t do a simple replacenocase on the substring my page 11 and wrap that
term in square brackets for two reasons: 1. The term my page 11 may already
have the square brackets around it on page 9, in which case I would then
have double square brackets. 2. An even bigger problem – I may also have a
page somewhere named [my page 11 definitions]  (or some other name
containing the new page name within it’s string.) In this case I would cut
off the page link with a replaced string that looked something like [[my
page 11] definitions].

I know this begs for a rereplacenocase in some form or the other, but it’s a
tricky one. I need to replace all LABEL (field name) in the showBlurb
variable with [LABEL] in all cases where the substring in showBlurb = LABEL
but is not like any other LABEL in the db. The replace only needs to take
place if there are no other [ open square brackets from the starting
position of showBlurb to the starting position of the substring, or if a ]
close square bracket occurs after the [ open square bracket. I just need to
make sure I’m not replacing in the middle of another page name.

I hope this makes sense and is not too confusing. Any help is appreciated.
