Or you could have the bad words stored in a db, then you can easily add to
them......
<!--- Set variables to hold the title and bodytext --->
<cfset bodytext = " " & Form.reply_body & " ">
<!--- 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# "," " &
RepeatString("*",Len(getprofanities.badword)) & " ","ALL")>
</cfloop>

don't waste your time with regular expressions; in this case you already
know what you want to replace and regular expressions are for times when you
don't know exactly what your searching for. Use replaceList(), like this:
badList = "apple,banana,car";
goodList = "*****,******,***";
text = "this banana drove the car into the apple at high speed. The apple
was upset."
listReplace(lcase(text),badList,goodList);
result = "this ****** drove the *** into the **** at high speed, The ****
was upset."

Subject: regexp for swear filter
Dudes and laydeez,
Would anyone perchance know how to create a regexp to replace instances of
specific list items in a block of text, with their asterisked counterparts
(of the same length)?
What I mean by this:
list = "apple|banana|car"
text = "this banana drove the car into the apple at high speed. The apple
was upset."
result = "this ****** drove the *** into the **** at high speed, The ****
was upset."
I want to be able to do this with a single regexp, rather than list looping
over the text and replacing the index of the current loop iteration with its
repeatstring('*', len(index)) counterpart - which is slow if I have to do
this for many text blocks on the same page..
would the following work (bearing in mind I'm not great at regexps)?
rereplacenocase(thistext, "#list#", "#rereplace(list, '[^\|]', '*',
'ALL')#", "ALL")
hmmm even I'm not sure about that.
