At least I'm not alone :) I had thought about something to that effect but...
I wanted content between [code] and [/code] to stay exactly as the user typed it. So if there are <b> tags they display as <b> and if there are [b] tags they display as [b] Jim Davis came up with a loop that extracts code blocks and replaces them with a marker... then you can just do your replaces on everything then replace the markers with the original code blocks and voila! It worked well but my assumption was that a regular expression that can replace an open tag and an end tag and at the same time make the decision on rather or not it's between [code] and [/code] would be much faster. I'm at the point where I'll probably just combine both and move on with my life. Thanks for the thoughts, and watch those non-nullable fields! :) -----Original Message----- From: Jared Rypka-Hauer - CMG, LLC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2005 8:24 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: regex help (Almost) Still fighting that thing, eh? I spent 3 hours this afternoon trying to figure out why a simple INSERT query wouldn't work... finally I wrapped the query text in ## and a cfoutput, then copy/pasted it into Query Analyzer... only to find out that the problem was a new column in the database that was marked not nullable. I hadn't updated the insert to account for the new column. DANG, I hate when that happens. But, my my thought is this... Why not convert every single HR or BR tag to <hr>, then run rereplace with a regex that finds [\[code\].<hr>.\[\/code\]] and converts <hr> back to [HR]. Granted, it may not be the utmost in elegance (which is never pleasing), but it would work. Just a thought... I'll keep thinking on it too. Hard as that whole "thinking" thing may be.
