If you need to guarantee that you only replace a double-equal inside of a pair of single-quotes, the only way I can think of to do this is to do some basic parsing. Regex can't do very much in the way of parsing, but it is great for tokenizing (have I lost you yet?).
In short, what I'd do is use refind() to locate the first set of quotes and the stuff in the middle: '.*?' (this assumes cf6+) Now, do a replace() for == with =. Start after the end of the replaced string, and repeat. If you want to be slick about it, use refind() in a single call to find all of the areas that are contained within single-quotes, and replace from the last (nearest the end of the string) to the first (nearest the beginning). Does that make sense? Further questions? --Ben Brook Davies wrote: > Yikes. So is there a better way to do this?
