Look Howie! Someone else used whilst!
I was regaling the BF with the tale of you poking fun of my usage of the
word whilst, and he turned to me and said "you are a nutcase. <grin> Who
uses that word in day to day conversation.....blah, blah, blah...most people
don't even the word exists."
So of course I replied, "well, yes I'm a nutcase, however, the context of
the sentence demanded that I use whilst." <grin>
So I'm over on CF-Talk looking for something and I came across this post by
Will Swain:
"What I want to know is this. How would I look at changing this so that ****
whilst ***** turd would be picked up and returned as ****, saturday is
not??" (the thread is about masking profanities)
**** doing a little dance, throwing footballs at Howie... ******
<grin>

Subject: profanity checker(again)
Hi all,
I emailed the list regarding this a few weeks ago, but an interesting
problem has now come up.
I have some code that pulls a list of profanities from a db table, then
checks them against a form feild submitted by a user. Any words that match
are asterisked out. All well and good. But, when someone entered Saturday,
the code returned Sa****ay!! Yers, turd is in the database! What I want to
know is this. How would I look at changing this so that whilst turd would be
picked up and returned as ****, saturday is not??
Any ideas? Code is below.
TIA
Will
<cfset bodytext = Form.thread_body>
<cfset titletext = Form.thread_title>
<!--- Pull out all the bad words from the database --->
<cfquery name="getprofanities" datasource="#APPLICATION.chatdsn#">
SELECT ID, badword, rate1
FROM tbl_profanity
</cfquery>
<!--- Loop over the profanity list and compare with words in the
bodytext --->
<cfloop query="getprofanities">
<cfset bodytext = ReplaceNoCase(bodytext, "#getprofanities.badword#",
"#getprofanities.rate1#", "ALL")>
<cfset titletext = ReplaceNoCase(titletext, "#getprofanities.badword#",
"#getprofanities.rate1#", "ALL")>
</cfloop>
