CF does support regular expressions.
Forta refers to them in a brief chapter in
the Advanced 4.0 book (the green one).
For instance, inside a cfscript block:
thisContent =
"#REReplaceNoCase(thisContent,"<TD[^>]*> </TD>","","ALL")#";
thisContent = "#REReplaceNoCase(thisContent,"<TD[^>]*>","|||","ALL")#";
thisContent = "#REReplaceNoCase(thisContent,"</TD>","","ALL")#";
thisContent= "#REReplaceNoCase(thisContent,"<FONT[^>]*>","","ALL")#";
thisContent= "#REReplaceNoCase(thisContent,"</FONT>","","ALL")#";
thisContent= "#REReplaceNoCase(thisContent,"<BR>",",","ALL")#";
thisContent= "#REReplaceNoCase(thisContent,"<[^>]*>","","ALL")#";
thisContent= "#REReplaceNoCase(thisContent,"#CHR(13)#","","ALL")#";
thisContent= "#REReplaceNoCase(thisContent,"#CHR(10)#","","ALL")#";

Subject: Stupid Question - Regular Expressions?
Hello,
This may well qualify for the dumbest question of all time.
But here, goes. Does CF support regular expressions?
I can't seem to find any mention of them within Ben's book or on the Allaire
support site?
