The main problem is that you are trying to use a character expression when you need to match a multicharter expression. I would probably do this in multiple passes. In the first pass do say:
st=rereplacenocase(st,'src="http://','src="|","all"); this will replace all http with a | symbol ( if you use pipes in page then think of a different single character) Now we know that all the ones with http have pipe second pass we want to take those without pipe or a slash and add a slash st=rereplacenocase(st,'<IMG alt="" src="([^|/])','<IMG alt="" src="/(\1)',"all"); and finally replace the | with http:// st=rereplacenocase(st,'src="|','src="http://","all";) A couple of complications: what about https:// What happens if they reverse src and alt or add extra spaces. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bernd VanSkiver" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2001 3:21 PM Subject: RegEx Help > Got a Regular Expression problem that I can't figure out how to solve. > Below are two possible strings that could be send to my replace function. > The order of the atributes could be in any order and the domain name and > file name will also be different in each case. > > <IMG alt="" src="aboutuson.jpg" border=0> > <IMG alt="" src="http://www.domain.com/aboutuson.jpg"; border=0> > > What I need to do is files that don't have a absolute web path with the > "http://"; need something like the following prepended to them: "/images/" so > the results of the above would be as follows. > > <IMG alt="" src="/images/aboutuson.jpg" border=0> > <IMG alt="" src="http://www.domain.com/aboutuson.jpg"; border=0> > > Here is the regular expression that I was using, but it doesn't work right. > > REReplace('<IMG alt="" src="aboutuson.jpg" border=0>', > "src=#Chr(34)#[^http://]";, "src=#Chr(34)#/images/", "ALL") > > What I get when I do that is as follows: > > <IMG alt="" src="/images/boutuson.jpg" border=0> > > It is stripping the first letter off the file name.
