Hi all,

I emailed the list regarding this a few weeks ago, but an interesting
problem has now come up.

I have some code that pulls a list of profanities from a db table, then
checks them against a form feild submitted by a user. Any words that match
are asterisked out. All well and good. But, when someone entered Saturday,
the code returned Sa****ay!! Yers, turd is in the database! What I want to
know is this. How would I look at changing this so that whilst turd would be
picked up and returned as ****, saturday is not??

Any ideas? Code is below.

TIA

Will

<cfset bodytext = Form.thread_body>

<cfset titletext = Form.thread_title>

 <!--- Pull out all the bad words from the database --->

<cfquery name="getprofanities" datasource="#APPLICATION.chatdsn#">
        SELECT ID, badword, rate1
        FROM tbl_profanity
</cfquery>

<!--- Loop over the profanity list and compare with words in the
bodytext --->

<cfloop query="getprofanities">

        <cfset bodytext = ReplaceNoCase(bodytext, "#getprofanities.badword#",
"#getprofanities.rate1#", "ALL")>

        <cfset titletext = ReplaceNoCase(titletext, "#getprofanities.badword#",
"#getprofanities.rate1#", "ALL")>

</cfloop>
