I'm not sure if this will help, but try nesting your functions the other way so the RegEx gets applied before the HTMLCodeFormat, or if that doesn't work, do it the other way :OP
Ade -----Original Message----- From: Michael Tangorre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 June 2003 13:03 To: CF-Talk Subject: Regex Help Good Morning. A day or so ao I got some help with a regular expression and when I wrote a sample input string to match against it worked fine, howvever I failed to realize I have to HTMLCodeFormat the results from the http post in order to get a string to use. The Regex does not seem to work with the HTMLCodeFormat(cfhhtp.fileContent) string.... I was testing with a simple string I came up with to mimic the results form the post. Anyways, here is the string returned from the http post: <html><head><title>TransGatewayAPI</title></head><body><%---StartParseRC=0|S topParse---%></body></html> This is the regex I was trying to use:result = REreplace(cfhttp.fileContent,"$.*(<%---.*---%>).*^","\1")nothing is found though. What I am trying to do is strip out everything between the following two substrings:<%--- and ---%> which would results in:StartParseRC=0|StopParseCan anyone assist or point out what I am doing wrong? I am new to regex, so bear with me :-)Thanks, Mike ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
