RE: regular expression help

[Mark Johnson]

I don't know exactly what you are trying to find in the string.  But this
should match the contents of the first table row.

<cfset x = REFind('<td valign=top class="leftColumn">[^<]*</td>', HTML)>

or if you just want the contents of everything between that cell.

#ReReplace(HTML, '<td valign=top class="leftColumn">([^<]*)</td>', \1)#

However we really need to know what you want from the string.

Subject: regular expression help



What am I doing wrong here? What is the regular expression that will extract
a match?

====STRING=========
<cfset HTML = '<td valign=top class="leftColumn">
      Merge onto N LAKE SHORE DR</td> <td><img
src="http://mqgraphics.mapquest.com/gif/blank_1x1.gif" height="1" width="1"
alt="" border="0"></td>
   <td valign=top class="leftColumn">
      &nbsp;2.4  miles
      <div class="introType">
      &nbsp;(3.9  km)
   </div></td>'>

====REGULAR EXPRESSION=========
<cfset x =
REFind('<td valign=top class="leftColumn">[[:Alnum:space:]]+</td>', HTML)>

<cfoutput>#x#</cfoutput>
