Re: Help With Regular Expressions
I ended up using Replace to change
../geos/displayCountryData.cfm?countryCode=AS to ../geos/AS. Then I used
REMatch(../geos/[A-Z]{2},...) to find all occurrences of this resulting
pattern. I then processed each match in the array REMatch returned with
Replace(DBText, REMatchArrayEntry, REMatchArrayEntry .html, ALL). Each
REMatchArrayEntry has the pattern ../geos/[A-Z]{2}. I'm sure there is a
simpler way to handle this. But, this works.
Can you provide one more of the actual links? I'm going to assume that the
folderName string is not actually 'folderName'. If that's the case then it
would affect the regular expression and what it would need to look for. Will
the two character string always be at the end of the link?
If everything else is the same, and you just need the last two characters of
a link:
cfset string = '../folderName/someCFMFile.cfm?code=AB'
cfset match = REMatchNoCase('[A-Z]{2}$',string)
cfdump var=#match#
cfabort

Help With Regular Expressions
Hi All,
I'm trying to find a way of using regular expressions to locate and replace
text. My application reads in some text containing links from a DB: e.g.
../folderName/someCFMFile.cfm?code=AB. I want to change all occurrences of
this to ../folderName/AB.html. Note that code can be any
2-uppercase-character combination. I've gotten to the point where I have
../folderName/code using:
cfset aData = Replace(stringFromDB, someCFMFile.cfm, , ALL)
cfset aData = REReplace(aData, ../folderName/[A-Z]{2}, aData, ALL)
My problem is how to get it to replace what it matches with that same match
(which would be ../folderName/code) with ../folderName/code.html?

Re: Help With Regular Expressions
This is untested, but should be close.
REReplace(string, [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+\.cfm\?code=([A-Z]{2}), \1.html, all)
find zero or more a-zA-Z0-9_-, then .cfm?code=, then any two A-Z and
replace the whole thing with thos upper case letters plus .html. If
someCFMFile.cfm is static, you can replace that character class with
the literal.

inside of the brackets, the caret (^) means 'not'. so that's anything that's NOT a-z (or A-Z since adrian gave you a replacenocase() function) or 0-9.

Re: help with regular expressions!
First a couple of observations: If it were me, all of those fields would be in separate fields in the database. Then there would be no need to do what you are doing. However, it that's not an option, change the way you are posting the data so it's a list, and parse it out that way, using a delimiter like chr(128) or something else as innocuous. Then, pulling it apart is simply a retrieval of a particular list item. So for example, if you used the pipe symbol (|): User1|10/28/2003|2:53:52|THIS IS A TEST Now it's as simple as cfscript un = listGetAt( query.column, 1, |); dt = listGetAt( query.column, 2, |); tm = listGetAt( query.column, 3, |); cm = listGetAt( query.column, 4, |); /cfscript cfoutput span class=time#un# | #dt# #tm#/span #cm# /cfoutput As far as regex, the problem is the username.eg is it always one word, or is it possible to have one with spaces in it?If your example is correct, I would say that a regex solution won't work either. Show us some actual data. Thanks, Robert Hello Everybody, I've tried hard to find a solution to my problem but have had no luck. I am pulling the data from the 'comments' column in a database table.

Re: help with regular expressions!
If you don't need the pipe symbol betwee the username and the date, then the following would do: cfcsript txt = query.column; txt = replace( txt, ***, span); // replace first *** txt = replace( txt, ***, /span); // replace second *** cmStart = val( Find( /span, txt)+7 ); cmEnd = len(txt); dspTxt = mid( txt, 1, cmStart); cm = mid( txt, cmStart, cmEnd - cmStart); /cfscript cfoutput#dsptxt#br #cm# /cfoutput Still, if you could replace your posting script to change it's format that would be the way to do it.Either (ok) MAKE it post the list in the format you need it in, or (BEST) break the data into separate columns in your database. well I thought we regular expressions I can do some patter matching something to look for the first set of opening and closing 3 stars *** and replace everything inside/between the stars including the stars with span class=timeUser 1 | 14/4/2004 15:58:15/span I don't think his string has delimiters. -Original Message- From: Dave Francis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 14, 2004 10:34 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: help with regular expressions!

Re: Help with Regular Expressions
The problem is in defining between quotation marks because technically in testuser1,testuser2 the comma *is* between quotation marks.I can see how you could loop over the string and keep the pairs consistent that way, but I can't off the top of my head think of a way to do it with a single regex. Here's another way to look at it: you have a quotation-mark-delimited list with throwaway members that just contain commas. I don't know if that will be the right way to go about it, but it might be worth considering. If not, I would use a find() to locate all the quotes and work with them in pairs that way, removing/replacing commas between them.

Re: Help with Regular Expressions
Try this:
cfset string = '11/12/2003, bob, this is a ,comma,list,end'
cfscript
string = string ,;
first = find('', string);
second = find('', string, first + 1);
while(first and second)
{
string = left(string, first) replace(mid(string, first + 1,
second-first), ',', '~', all) right(string, len(string) - second);
first = find('', string, second + 1);
second = find('', string, first + 1);
}
/cfscript
You'll notice that I append a comma to the end of the list.This is so
that a double-quote can't be the last character.Sine CF ignores empty
list entries, this shouldn't affect the rest of your code.If it does,
just strip the last character at the end of the script.

You could run it on any line that has too many list elements.That is,
if listlen(5) then run the script on it (define it as a UDF and call it).
