I wouldn't add the overhead of looping and regex finding where it is totally not needed.
Get the selected image record from the database... If a qry.column is "" replace **image1** with nothing Else Replace it with <img src"/path/to/images/#qry.columnname#"... /> Pretty simple... You could also just do it based on whether or not the image file exists... First, Query for the selected image Then... If filexists(imagefile) Replace **imageN** width img tag using imagefile Else Replace **imageN** with nothing Again, pretty simple. Using the "ALL" scope will replace ALL occurrences of each instance you tell it to... no need for looping and searching and extracting and then relooping the extracted content and replacing and putting back... etc... etc... ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

I would approach this by using a regular expression with some looping to pull all of variables out of the content and put them into a list or array. Then, you can loop through the results, generate the content for each variable (or discard invalid ones), then replace the variable in the content with the generated content. If you made a recursive process to do the replacements, you could have variables in your generated content as well. -Justin Scott ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:285569 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
