I'm interested in what you come up with, I like the idea of a small regex builder and this could be quite difficult. Will you post your thoughts and code to this list?
I'm not a big user of regular expressions in coldfusion, I guess I use them where required. I find RegEx in Eclipse is fantastic, infact I'm interested in what people are doing with Eclipse Coldfusion Development and Regular Expressions. Just an example, something like the following can be useful for turning a SELECT list into sets. Find: , (.*) Replace with: <cfset obj.set$1(qry.$1)> I haven't used the above myself, but you get the idea (can't think of a better example right now). I'm sure I've seen something on this topic somewhere recently? if someone knows please point me to it. Cheers Gareth.
