Hey all. I'm trying to cook up a regexp to search a block of text for
links.
What I'm looking for is something like:
<a href="path with spaces/file with spaces.htm">
I want to read the block of text and replace spaces with %20 so links
won't
break.
-------------------------------
Try this:
<cfloop condition="REFindNoCase('(<a href=""[^ ]+) ([^""]*"")',
content)">
<cfset content=REReplaceNoCase(content, '(<a href="[^ ]+) ([^"]*")',
'\1%20\2', 'ALL')>
</cfloop>
I don't know why you have to loop around until they're all replaced - I
thought setting the scope of REReplaceNoCase to 'ALL' would do that.
Well, this is where *my* knowledge of regexps falls over! Maybe someone
else can clear this up?
Anyway, the regexp itself seems to work. A plain English translation:
Match <a href=", followed by one or more characters that aren't spaces,
followed by a space, followed by zero or more characters that aren't
quote marks, followed by a quote mark.
Didn't think it was worth matching to the end of the <a> tag, this
should be far enough. I'm sure the back references are clear enough.
