cfset st = refind(Semester: [0-9]*, cfhttp.fileContent, 0, TRUE)
cfdump

Looks like using the array would be more efficient though...

If you return sub-expressions, the resulting structure will contain
multiple entries. The first element in the pos and len arrays will be
the match for the whole regex. The subsequent entries will be the
matches for the sub-expressions.
There should be n+1 entries in those arrays. Where n is the number of
sub-expressions in your regex.

How do I return back references? (maybe I need another coffee, but I

The regex
(\d+)\s+(\d{4}\s+\d{4})
07 1234 5678
I know I can reference to the area code by
07 = \1
I know I can reference to the telephone number by
1234 5678 = \2
But how in godsname do I output it?
I could NOT just do
cfoutput
#\1# #\2#
/cfoutput
All I can think of is using reReplace() but surely there must be some
other way!?

Something like this should do it for you:
cfset regex = (\d+)\s+(\d{4}\s+\d{4})
cfset str = 07 1234 5678
cfset stResult = reFindNoCase(regex,str,1,true)
cfdump var=#stResult#
cfset areacode = mid(str,stResult.pos[2],stResult.len[2])
cfset number = mid(str,stResult.pos[3],stResult.len[3])
cfoutput(#areacode#) #number#/cfoutput
If you return sub-expressions, the resulting structure will contain

It's so that I know pos[3] will always return the area code.
But the area code is the first subexpression starting at pos[2] . . . ?

ok next one...
Can you do something like
(\+\d+|select nothing here, but populate structure)
Reason for doing this is so that
pos[2] len[2] will exists, if that makes any sense?

[cfaussie] RE: RegEx in DreamWeaver
yeah, that's a tricky one. What your first RegEx was doing is the equivalent of saying: Match any number of characters (except for newlines), followed by any character that isn't a double quote. The first pattern will (usually) be matched first, then the RegEx engine will start all over again until it finds any character that is a line break (I think there may be more to it than that, something along the lines of '. matches any printable character', but I may be wrong) which is followed by a character that isn't a double quote. (Just finished reading all about the internals of Perl's RegEx engine in _Computer Science And Perl Programming_, bit of a heavy read, but I now know all sorts of useless things about it :) -- Lindsay Evans.

[cfaussie] RE: RegEx in DreamWeaver
a href=([^]*) Try a href=([^]+) * means 0 or more + means 1 or more ? Means 0 or 1 One of the key things to understand about regexs is that they are greedy. That means that they get processed from left to right, and each criteria will claim as much as it can. The net result is that saying .* will match everything, and any criteria that follow it will never get a chance to operate. Often times this is not how you want things to work, you would prefer the opposite to happen. Perl ( and hence cfmx ) has support for a not greedy operator, you just stick ? After the + or * Eg: your orignial regex a href=.*?should now work but you might wanta href=.+? to skip the empty urls Jon. --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/

You don't really need to use a RegEx on this, you can just use the replace function on this, unless you want to remove any special character that makes XML fall over. replace(yourString, é, e, all) I guess your best bet would be to replace the character with the following ISO code or some other equivalent that won't make xml fall over replace(yourString, é, eacute;, all) I'm sure there is a tag or function somewhere that will do exactly what you want when you do a search in google or have a look at http://www.cflib.org/library.cfm?ID=1 Taco -Original Message- From: Andrew Parker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 6 June 2003 8:58 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: regex against word One I found was the apostrophe above the 'e' in décor.

I guess your best bet would be to replace the character with the following ISO code or some other equivalent that won't make xmlfall over However. NOTE: XML only supports a small set of the escaped characters (not the same set that HTML supports) - so you may find that, while they dont break XML, you may not get the behaviour you actually want (this may, of course, depend on how you are you processing your XML for output).

Hi Steve, Correct me if I am wrong, but there are a lot more things you can check for with regEx, for example; - If it has a @ sign and only one - If the first part of the email has more than X characters, and less than X characters - If the first part of the email contains only letters, numbers, underscore or hyphen etc. - If the second part of the email more than X characters, and less than X characters - If the second part of the email contains only letters, numbers, underscore or hyphen etc. - If the second part of the email contains at least one dot and no more than one Etc.

[cfaussie] RE: RegEx for email checking
Yeah but once you fullfill those requirements, whats to say that it is actually a valid email address? [EMAIL PROTECTED] this would pass any email validater, but one would safly say that the email address is a crap one thats what I mean All you can do is check that its formatted properly, but as for if is a valid email address and the account exists, well good luck. I have added into my validation scripts to do a post to the actual domain used in the address and then check the response that you get back, IE if you get a Connection Failure response, then there is no way the address is valid, but then I cam across mail servers not using standard ports ect.

[cfaussie] RE: RegEx for email checking
In that case you are right, there really is nothing you can do that proofs the email is existing, only send an email and see if its real and doesn't bounce back. you could try FINGER user@host but thats not running everywhere, you could PING the host, but thats also disabled on most hosts now. You could check if the domains is really registered, but it's all going a bit to far. I was actually not refering to the above routine either, I was just interested in checking if it's correctly formatted, for security purposes (hacking) and just to disallow bogus people signing up quickly.

This email is to be read subject to the disclaimer below. Yes, and you can use nslookup or similar to find the MX record for the domain (which is a special type of DNS record listing the mail servers for a domain). Then you could telnet to each listed mail server. But I think that if something goes wrong and you get complaints from your users, you would have a rather tough time figuring out where your verification procedure went wrong. The method of emailing people a random password or token and requiring them to enter it is IMHO a much safer way of verifying not only the validity of an email address, but that the person signing up actually has access to it.
