Here is a udf for removing words, it looks to see if the word is a certain
length before removing the word.
<cfscript>
function noWords(myText){
var Words = "";
var i = 1;
var doRemove = false;
var wordsToRemove = ArrayNew(1);
var output = "";
myText = LCASE(myText);
//Words to remove
wordsToRemove[1] = "an";
wordsToRemove[2] = "the";
wordsToRemove[3] = "at";
wordsToRemove[4] = "by";
wordsToRemove[5] = "for";
wordsToRemove[6] = "of";
wordsToRemove[7] = "in";
wordsToRemove[8] = "up";
wordsToRemove[9] = "on";
wordsToRemove[10] = "to";
wordsToRemove[11] = "and";
wordsToRemove[12] = "as";
wordsToRemove[13] = "but";
wordsToRemove[14] = "if";
wordsToRemove[15] = "or";
wordsToRemove[16] = "nor";
wordsToRemove[17] = "a";
//Make each word in text an array variable
Words = ListToArray(myText, " ");
//Make sure words are not in the wordsToRemove list
for(i=1; i LTE (ArrayLen(Words)); i = i+1){
doRemove = false;
//If the word is in the list, remove it
if(ListFind(ArrayToList(wordsToRemove,","),Words[i])){
doRemove = true;
}
//If doRemove eq true, remove the associated word.
if(doRemove){
Words[i] = "";
}
}
output = ArrayToList(Words," ");
return output;
}
</cfscript>
