Re: Rereplace with regular expression not working as I had hoped.

You need to 'remember' the character grabbed by the dot in a backreference: rereplace(string, (.)/(.), \1 / \2, all); That should take care of you.If you have any more questions, we might want to move to CF-Regex (available via the HoF archives if you don't want to subscribe). --Ben Doom

Rereplace with regular expression not working as I had hoped.

Hi all, Here is a quick one for you. I have a Variable that I am trying to do a rereplace on and it isn't working as I expected. Here is the code: cfset Variables.myNewVar = rereplace(Variables.myOldVar,./., . / ., All) I was hoping that it would convert: DOGS/CATS TO: DOGS / CATS but

Re: Rereplace with regular expression not working as I had hoped.

You need to grab the S from DOGS and the C from Cats that you are replacing. For example: cfset Variables.myNewVar = rereplace(Variables.myOldVar,(.)/(.), .\1/\2.,All) the () around the dots grabs those values. The \1 and \2 put them back in. Does that make sense? Jerry Johnson [EMAIL
