You're better off using regex-replace(){rereplace()} over replace() for more
than one condition. The pipe is a way to cheat the replace function but for

I'm trying to use REFind to get all of the anchor/href tags but I'm
coming up short.
RegEx is not necessarily the ideal tool for this - try a DOM Parser.
If you've got consistent/controlled input you can use regex, and here's a Java
one that will work in most situations:
Hi All,
Can anyone help me with a particular regex patten? I am trying to find any
email address that has at least one dot in the username portion and the entire
email string is surrounded by bold tags?
Thanks

so like
b[\w]+\.[\...@[\w]+\.[\w]{2,5}/b
That's really basic, but should be easy to understand.

Try this:
cfset string = this is bfirstname.lastname...@email.com/b email
address /
cfset email =
refindNoCase((b)(([A-Z0-9_%+-]*\.)+[a-z0-9_%+...@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,4})(\/b),
string, 1, true )/
cfdump var=#mid( string, email.POS[3], email.LEN[3] )#

This pattern should account for strong as well now:
cfset email =
refindNoCase((b|strong)(([A-Z0-9_%+-]*\.)+[a-z0-9_%+...@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,4})(\/b|\/strong),
string, 1, true )/
Just amend the tag you want to wrap around the email (b|strong) and
(\/b|\/strong) as shown above. Pipes are the or

Few tips.
If you're going to say b or strong with (b|strong), it's a few less
chars to just do (b|strong).
Instead of [a-zA-Z0-9_%+-], you can get by with [\w%+-], oh, and add a
period to one of those in case there is more than 1 in the string, then
there's no need for that extra param and
Thanks for the tips. Always helpful! I built this quickly as I only had a
few minutes. I've worked with regex for a bit.
Either way it looks as though any of these examples will work.
Thanks,

Ok, firstly a slight semantics rant:
Strong and Bold are NOT synonymous - just because the default styling for the
Strong tag is bold does not mean that they are interchangeable.
Now that's out of the way, onto the regex side of things - your pattern will
match this:
reFindNoCase runs a fair amount slower than reFind.
Have you compared it against using inline case-insensitive flag, i.e:
refind( '(?i)regex' , text )
Would be interesting to know if that is any faster/slower than refindnocase.
Any reason not to be using the XHTML parsers out there on the produced output?

NVM, of course there is eh, you can auto fix them with CF right...

It is however a good idea to put a space before the / for readability.

Actually, both of your examples are invalid according to the W3C which
states that all attributes must be quoted:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-xhtml1-20020801/#h-4.4
The value of that variable output DOES contain quotes. I just need my regex to
do what is required by my company.
