Mallory,
Try this:
<cfset newVar=REFind(varWithHTML,'<meta name="pubdate"[^>]+')>
That should return the string;
<meta name="pubdate" content="[some date]">
Which you can then extract the date from.
Good luck!

Subject: Regular expression Help
Greetings All,
I am in the process of developing a small headache with Regular
Expressions...
I have looked at all of the examples I could find on the archives of this
mailing list and other web
pages but I still just don't get it.. I think I will pickup the O'Reilly
book that I have seen at another job before
on regular expressions but for now I am asking the list for help..
What I am trying to do is parse through an HTML source page an look for a
specfic string.. for example..
<meta name="pubdate" content="Fri, 23 Mar 2001 07:00:00 GMT">
I would like to grab everything from this string from " to GMT"
Thanks in Advance...
Mallory Woods
