I am trying to build a regular expression to test for valid CFSET statements
in a block of text. I have it working with one small issue: if a ">"
character appears on the right hand side of the equals sign, such as in
<CFSET test = "This is a test with a > sign">
then the regexp fails to match the whole string. I am only concerned with
statements that set local variables which is why the regexp doesn't take
variable scope into consideration. Here is what I have right now:
<!--- This regexp should match any local CFSET statement
with optional spaces on either side of the equals sign --->
<CFSET reCFSET = "(<CFSET [a-zA-Z0-9_]+( )?=( )?([[:Graph:]]|( ))+>)">
Can anyone give me some pointers as to how I can modify this to support the
">" sign if it appears inside single or double quotes on the right hand side
of the equals sign?
Thanks in advance,
