:D
So you want:
1) to find all instances of this string (with different attributes):
<mytag name="test height="10" width="50" renderer="q6" id="66565656">
2) extract all of the attribute values (as name value pairs or just the
values?)
Test 10 50 q6 66565656
3) replace the tag with a UDF:
<cfset a = myUDF("Test", 10, 50, "q6", "665656565")>
Yes?
If so...
1) find all instances of the string (assumptions made on values):
Mytag[ ]+name="[^"]+"[ ]+height="[0-9]+"[ ]+width="[0-9]+"[
]+renderer="[^"]+" id="[0-9]+">
Escape all quotes
<mytag[ ]+name=""[^""]+""[ ]+height=""[0-9]+""[ ]+width=""[0-9]+""[
]+renderer=""[^""]+"" id=""[0-9]+"">
2 and 3) extract value using REReplace and backreferences (watch wrapping)
<cfset regex = <mytag[ ]+name=""([^""]+)""[ ]+height=""([0-9]+)""[
]+width=""([0-9]+)""[ ]+renderer=""([^""]+)"" id=""([0-9]+)"">">
<cfscript>
myPage = REReplace(myPage, regex, "<cfset a = myUDF("\1", \2, \3,
"\4", "\5")>", "all");
</cfscript>
