Here is a quick "pseudo code" thought, off the cuff so to speak. Not sure
how you handle the presentation of you text, but this might get you started?
Read Text
Find occurrence of product
if not in productFoundList
format
add tm
add to prouctFoundList
return var
else
format
return var
end
/Read
Does that make sense? Or is this the obvious thing that misses the point?

Subject: [CFCDev] creating a cfc to format text
well, in the infinite wisdom of Senior MarComm managers I have been
assigned the following tasks:
"write code that automatically highlights (with bold/italic formatting)
all of our product names"
easy enough sez I, so I modified a UDF I found at cflib.org, no problems...
now, sez they, "add an ™ or ® depending on product line."
again, easy enough. Transfered it all to cfc on our external site, works
like a charm.
now here comes the tricky part...
sez they, "bold/italic or bold by product line, ™ and ® only on
the first instance of a product in body copy;
so:
<body copy start>
1st instance <b>e-terra</b><i>assetmanager</i>(tm)
2nd instance <b>e-terra</b><i>assetmanager</i> -- no (tm)
1st instance <b>e-terra</b><i>marketmanager</i>(tm)
1st instance <b>BiTRONICS</b>(r)
2nd instance <b>BiTRONICS</b> -- no (r)
and so on..."
Is this possible? If so, how? do I need to check for the first instance of
each productname?
