Hello cf-talk,
I think I'm getting closer. I need to replace what looks like 3
spaces in a textfile, with a <br>.
The trouble is, figuring out these ascii tables as to what a space is?
would this do it? replace("string", "SP(32)", "<br>")
if so, how do I replace what looks like 3 spaces?
Jeff
JF> Hello cf-talk,
JF> You guys are good! A couple more questions.
JF> 1. Any good books to better explain usage of these functions? The
JF> help that comes with CFstudio is not very detailed.
JF> 2. I got it working fine, and it did what I was looking for, but now
JF> I'd like to be able to get the text to wrap. I end up with this text
JF> that is quite wide before it turns a new line. I've been trying some

JF> I think what I'll need to do is add some <br> in there. Replace
JF> something with a <br>
JF> Does this sound right??
JF> This is what I'm using so far.

BL>> Actually that's not true.
BL>> If the first list is longer than the second list then any extra entries
BL>> in
BL>> the first list will be removed from [string].
BL>> Example:
BL>> <cfset temp = replaceList("abcdefghi","a,b,c","x,y")>
BL>> x replaces a
BL>> y replaces b
BL>> c is deleted
BL>> end result will be xydefghi
BL>> If the second list is longer then any extra entries will be ignored.
BL>> Also, don't forget that replaceList() is case sensitive!

BL>> Three things. You forgot to place the first list (the second function
BL>> argument) within quotes. Secondly, with ReplaceList(), both the second
BL>> and
BL>> third arguments need to be lists with the same number of items. If you
BL>> want
BL>> to replace 12 different strings with the same thing, then you need to
BL>> repeat
BL>> it 12 times in the replacement list. Third, the function takes only
BL>> three
BL>> arguments; there's no scope as an optional fourth argument. Get rid of
BL>> the
BL>> "all". Adn be sure to remove that space before the ending #.
