There's a few things you could do, based on the consistency of the source string:
1) Are the 3 lines always separated by a line break? 2) Is each line always separated by an = sign? If so, then you could do this like so: <!--- save the string into a var, just for testing ---> <cfsavecontent variable="string"> a= b=tyweu8939skdksspdssdsd c=sd </cfsavecontent> <cfset repString = 'z'> <!--- gives you the second line ---> <cfset tmp = REReplaceNoCase(ListGetAt(string,2,Chr(10)), '^[[:alpha:]]', repString)> <!--- dump the results ---> <cfdump var="#VARIABLES#"> <cfabort> -----Original Message----- From: Don L [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 11:11 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Any regular expression guru here? What I'd like to want to do is to replace a value from a simple text which looks like this: a= b=tyweu8939skdksspdssdsd c=sd How do I replace the value of b when the b value is unknown?
