[cfaussie] Reg Ex or other

[Carl Vanderpal]

Just wondering if there is a better way of doing this..

I have a site that that customizes documents with about 5-10 (could expand later on) elements that customizable - the example I can think of is a mail merge.

I say this as end users are entering the data and I want to make it easy for them to utilize customizable fields..

~FirstName~ (replace with) SESSION[User].FirstName
~LastName~ (replace with) SESSION[User].LastName

~City~ (replace with) SESSION[User].City
~Country~ (replace with) SESSION[User].Country

and so forth...

but I will add to it at a later date

<!--- Get Text from CFC Query --->
<cfset myText = ReplaceNoCase(getMyText.TextBlock, '~FirstName~', '<strong>#SESSION[User].FirstName#</strong>', 'ALL')>
<cfset myText = ReplaceNoCase(getMyText.TextBlock, '~LastName~', '<strong>#SESSION[User].LastName#</strong>', 'ALL')>
<cfset myText = ReplaceNoCase(getMyText.TextBlock, '~City~', '<strong>#SESSION[User].City#</strong>', 'ALL')>

and then I could go through all X amount of other ones..but is there a quicker way of doing this instead of CFSEtting and REplace 10 times..

Thanks

:)
