If you can edit the tag, change the code to make sure that there are
spaces on either side of the word to be checked!!

Subject: profanity checker(again)
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>
