Jason Powers (Fig Leaf Software) and I put together a presentation for this Fall's Macromedia Developer's conference on CF's implementation on Regular Expression that is geared toward the beginner.
You can download the PowerPoint file at: http://www.cfugorama.com/cfugorama/codelibrary/Regular-Expressions.cfm And there is also a version on the DevCon cd that was sent out last week. Learning Regular Expressions is not a particularly well-defined task. I found that once I figured out the syntax that was all I needed. Actually writing complex RegExes can be time consuming, but luckily CF Studio is one of the easiest tools to test REs in. The completely excellent book, Professional ColdFusion 5.0 on Wrox press has about 5 pages on REs in chapter 7. I'd suggest picking up several copies for work and home and valentines day gifts. Not that I'd profit from that, of course, but Simon's in India and SOMEONE's gotta keep the promotion machine going. ;) Don > -----Original Message----- > From: Tangorre, Michael T.
