Thanks, Bobby, exactly along the lines I am thinking. The mail address for me has no mailto:, it's just contained in a string. I'm wondering if I'll have to check the whole string for the existance of an email address by looping through each "word", or if there is an easier/faster way?
For example, this code would find the string. However, I don't know if I can use a regular expression, for example, to rereplace the string with ascii? (Never used regex before...) Or could I use a regular expression to search AND replace the email address with ascii on the whole string, which would be a lot faster? <cfset mystring = "this is the email address [email protected] that I use"> <cfset mynewString = ""> <cfoutput> <cfloop from="1" to="#listlen(mystring, " ")#" index="I"> <cfif isvalid("email", listgetat(mystring, I, " "))> <!--- now set this to ascii ---> #listgetat(mystring, I, " ")#<br> <cfelse> <cfset mynewString = "#mynewString# #listgetat(mystring, I, " ")#"> </cfif> </cfloop> #mynewString# </cfoutput> Jenny Gavin-Wear Fast Track Online Tel: 01262 602013 http://www.fasttrackonline.co.uk/ >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Bobby Hartsfield [mailto:[email protected]] >>Sent: 08 October 2011 04:09 >>To: cf-talk >>Subject: RE: Hiding email address from spiders >> >> >> >>Here is a page with an example of the source: >> >>http://cf4em.com/cf4em/index.cfm?mainaction=posts&forumid=2&threadid=63 >> >>The last post has my email address in the last sentence.
