Hi, I am running bluedragon free edition and I am trying to write a regular expression to remove part of a query string. I grab the query string from cgi.query_string and store it as a variable "location". The substring I would like to remove would always be either "&lang=1" "&lang=2" or "&lang=3" - it could appear without the "&" (as the first element in the query string).
So, I tried creating a regular expression to remove it and came up with the following: <cfset location = ReplaceNoCase(location,"[:punct:]?lang=[0-9]", "", "ALL")> It does not work. I decided to work in steps and tried this, without worrying about the punctation: <cfset location = ReplaceNoCase(location,"lang=[0-9]", "", "ALL")> So, I tried this: <cfset location = ReplaceNoCase(location,"lang=", "", "ALL")> And it worked, but it isn't doing what I want. So it seems other than literal strings (like "lang=") I can't get any regular expression to work. To test, I did the following: <cfset teststring = "this&that=3"> <cfset teststring = ReplaceNoCase(teststring,"[0-9]", "", "ALL")> It does nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
