OK.. Please no messages saying "ooh.. evaluate() bad..", but <cfscript>
str_text = "This works in 90% of all operations"; str_text = replace(str_text, "##", "####", "all"); str_text = ReReplace(str_text, "([0-9]*)%","##\1-25##%","all"); result = evaluate(DE(str_text)); </cfscript> <cfdump var="#result#"> -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Matthew Sent: Thursday, 14 December 2006 12:43 PM To: cfaussie Subject: [cfaussie] Regular expressions - backreference as a number Hi guys, I need to write a regex which can search through a paragraph of text and replace any number written as a percentage with itself minus 25% i.e. replace 100% with 75%, 90% with 65% etc etc. Here is a sample paragraph: ----------------------------- Provides passengers with a cabin that contains a 3-berth sleeping compartment in 2nd class. 100% exchangeable and refundable up to 3 days before departure. 90% exchangeable and refundable from 3 days before departure up to 60 days after departure. Can be exchanged in France prior to the travel date. ----------------------------- I've writen a regex to find all strings where a number has a "%" symbol after it and replace it with "FOO": ----------------------------- <cfdump var="#ReReplace(str_text,"([0-9]+%)+","FOO","all")#"> ----------------------------- Now I want to use the backreference and subtract 25, but it seems the backreference can only be treated as a string: <cfdump var="#ReReplace(str_text,"([0-9]+%)+","\1-25","all")#"> Which produces: "100%-25", wrong I know!!! I'm guessing that I will have to be to write a REFind and do some replaces etc, however it would be great if someone could write it all in a regex.
