James,

Thanks for the response.  It has given me other ideas about how to approach
this.

It appears that the solution you provided only replaces that Tags, which is
part of the desired solution.  I also need to obtain the value of the
attributes and put then in differenct attributes for the <a> tag.  The real
kicker is that the attributes in the <agent> tag can be in any order.  For
example:

>From this:
<agent primary="NO" aid="157" acutter="O469">Oldenburg, Claes
Thure,b.1929</agent>
<agent aid="2481" acutter="B847" primary="NO">Bruggen, Coosje van,
b.1942</agent>

To this:
<a href="results.cfm?c=aid&q=157">Oldenburg, Claes Thure, b.1929</a>
<a href="results.cfm?c=aid&q=2481">Bruggen, Coosje van, b.1942</a>

So far, I've come up with this, which is not complete:
  REReplaceNoCase(
    agentList,

'<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")>

Background:
I am using ColdFusion 4.51 on a Windows2000/IIS5 server.  The <agent> tags
come from an XML document that looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<citation>
  <accno>60793</accno>
  <title>Parc Andre-Citroen</title>
  <settitle sid="929">Paris: Parks and Gardens, 1615-1992</settitle>
  <callnumber>lGxFR B343a A53ed05</callnumber>
  <agents>
    <agent primary="NO" aid="157" acutter="O469">Oldenburg, Claes Thure,
b.1929</agent>
    <agent aid="2481" primary="NO" acutter="B847">Bruggen, Coosje van,
b.1942</agent>
    <agent primary="YES" aid="9387" acutter="B343">Berger, Patrick, b.
1947</agent>
    <agent primary="NO" aid="9388" acutter="V668">Viguier, Jean-Paul</agent>
    <agent acutter="J474" primary="NO" aid="9389">Jodry,
Jean-Francois</agent>
    <agent primary="NO" aid="9390" acutter="C585">Clement, Gilles</agent>
    <agent primary="NO" aid="9391">Provost, Alain</agent>
  </agents>
</citation>


Thanks,
Troy

Try this:

REReplaceNoCase(agents, "(</?)agent([[:space:]]*>|[[:space:]]+[^>]*>)",
"\1a\2", "ALL")

I have tested this code on CFAS 5 on WinXP.

Dear CF-Talkers:

I have a string in the following format( I've added carriage returns for
readability):

<cfset agents =
'<agent primary="NO" aid="157" acutter="O469">Oldenburg, Claes Thure,
b.1929</agent>' & '<agent primary="NO" aid="2481"
acutter="B847">Bruggen, Coosje van, b.1942</agent>' & '<agent
primary="YES" aid="9387" acutter="B343">Berger, Patrick, b.
1947</agent>'
>

I want to process the string to look like this (replace the AGENT tags
with ANCHOR tags):

<cfset agents =
'<a href="results.cfm?c=aid&q=157">Oldenburg, Claes Thure, b.1929</a>' &
'<a href="results.cfm?c=aid&q=2481">Bruggen, Coosje van, b.1942</a>' &
'<a href="reulsts.cfm?c=aid&q=9387">Berger, Patrick, b. 1947</a>'
>

I have somewhat accomplished this like so but still need some work and
have become a little lost.

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.

Thanks,
Troy
