I'm sure there is probably a better way... such as a simple regex.. youll
need Doom for that one but until then try this...
<cfsavecontent variable="txt">
This is a test of something <a href="test.cfm" title="test">And this is a
link</a><br />
This is another test but with an image tag <img src="somimg.jpg" al"" /> so
let's see how it goes
</cfsavecontent>
<cfscript>
function noBreak(str)
{
blockArr = arrayNew(1);
while (reFindNoCase("<.*?", str) and reFindNoCase("<.*?", str))
{
startPos = reFindNoCase("<.*?", str);
endPos = reFindNoCase("<*.?>", str);
thisBlock = Mid(str, startPos, endPos - startPos+2);
str = removeChars(str, startPos, endPos - startPos+2);
ArrayAppend(blockArr, thisBlock);
str = Insert("[!*#ArrayLen(blockArr)#*!]", str, startPos -
1);
}
str = replace(str, ' ', ' ', 'all');
for (i=1; i lte ArrayLen(blockArr); i=i+1)
{
str = replacenocase(str, '[!*#i#*!]', blockArr[i]);
}
return str;
}
</cfscript>
<cfoutput>#noBreak(txt)#</cfoutput>

Subject: How to write this regex?
Hi, all.
I thought I could figure this out, but apparently not. at least so far.
But how would I write a regex that would find all spaces and change them to
except those inside a < or > ?
REreplace(string, "all spaces not in between < and >", " ", "All") And
I'd rather not have an "unbreakable" space, but I couldn't come up with
anything else to use.
(I gave it a shot Claude!)
Suggestions anyone?
Rick
