Is there a delimited in the list of names (work_string), something that
you can include in your reg ex to "anchor" it to an entire entry?

Subject: Regex help looking for a name in a string.
Ok, no doubt this is an easy RegEx question, but not for me.
I have two queries. One returns a set of names, the other a string which
may or may not contain one or more of the names.
I want to check for the existence of a name in the string, and if I find
it, make it a hyperlink.
So far I have this:
<cfset works_string = qry_getEvent.works>
<cfloop query="qry_getProfiles">
<cfset works_string = REReplaceNoCase(#works_string#, #artist#, "<a
href='profiles.cfm?e=#profileID#' target='artistWin'>#artist#</a>",
"ALL")> </cfloop>
Which works in a limited sense but stumbles where names are similar or
contain the same words - for example
John Smith
John Smith & Sons
If the string contained John Smith & Sons, the code would highlight the
John Smith part but not the rest.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
will
