Try this: REReplaceNoCase(agents, "(</?)agent([[:space:]]*>|[[:space:]]+[^>]*>)", "\1a\2", "ALL")
I have tested this code on CFAS 5 on WinXP.

REReplaceNoCase( agent, '<agent[[:space:]]+primary="(YES|NO)"[[:space:]]+aid="([0-9]*)"[[:space: ]]+a cutter="([a-z0-9]*)">(.*)?</agent>', ' <a href="results.cfm?c=aid&q=\2">\4</a> ', "ALL")> **Another problem is that the AGENT Attributes can be in any order which really throughs wrench into things. Anyone have any advise on how to approach this? I would really appreciated it.
