Re: rereplace for removing repeating characters
I am sure there are some nice slick regular expressions to do this, but I just simply do this a very dumbed down way. cfset myVar = ReplaceNoCase(myVar , ,, ,, ALL) cfset myVar = ReplaceNoCase(myVar , , ,, ALL) cfset myVar = ReplaceNoCase(myVar , ,, ALL) cfset myVar = ReplaceNoCase(myVar , ,,, ,, ALL) You could also write a loop to run until FindNoCase(myVar, ,,) EQ FALSE, so you keep turning double commas, into single commas which will continue to reduce the commas, until there are no matches.

Re: REReplace Statment Help
This will replace everything that is not alphanumeric with a dash: ProductPageName = rereplace( Form.PageName , '\W' , '-' , 'All' ) However, the above will change this that to this---that, if you would prefer a single dash in situations like this, you can simply do this: ProductPageName = rereplace( Form.PageName , '\W+' , '-' , 'All' ) \W in that regex stands for non-word-character, equivalent in CF to [^a-zA-Z0-9_] ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: REReplace Statment Help
There are 2 separate thing being done with that code.
1. Its replacing spaces with a -
2. Its removing a bunch of 'special' characters.
There really is no way to do this in one live of code. However, if
this is something you woudl need to use in more than one place, you
can easily put these two lines of code into a UDF.

If you want it in one line, just combine them:

Replace(REReplace(FORM.pageName,[.*+?^${}()|[\]/\\],,All),
,-,All);
BTW, you don't the the #'s inside of a function unless the variable is

Re: REreplace function for special characters
but it's a one-liner So? Unless you have a limited number of newlines, mindlessly shoving commands into a single line is really dumb; it reduces readability and achieves nothing. This is another thing that bugs me - people compressing code without thought - having the right amount of whitespace in the right places is good for you! takes care of . inside filenames and any file extension length Well yeah, the original spec was dealing with images, which in general have a limited set of extensions, so extension length wasn't so much an issue. But yes, something to work for all filenames could be useful to people. All the ones you gave, (aside from being /UGLY/ :P), will not work for several common filenames - try running .htaccess and README through them, for example. Of course, I have come up with a one-line solution, but not by shunting together multiple commands. :P FileName = rereplace( FileName , '(?!\.[^.]*$)\W' , '' , 'all' ) Strips all non-word characters, excluding the final dot (if any). Although, thinking a bit more... for general purpose use, I might not bother stripping dots, or hyphens, or tilde, so might end up with this instead: FileName = rereplace( FileName , '(?!\.[^.]|[-~])\W' , '' , 'all' ) ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:316730 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

No dependency. \W [^\w] and [^a-zA-Z0-9] will all work in all CFML
versions/engines worth worrying about
They are all standard regex constructs.
However, it is worth pointing out that \w has a slightly different meaning
amongst different regex engines - it means word character, rather than
alphanumeric.
In CFML/rereplace it is treated as [a-zA-Z0-9_] (not the underscore).
However, in some flavours of regex \w will accept accented/etc characters (e.g.
á ç ÿ ) - so if this code was used in something other than CFML, you might need
to use the version that explicitly specifies standard letters+digits.

Re: REReplace to avoid HTML elements
Thanks Peter, I got to talking to Isaac Dealey this evening about this since he had helped out a while back on this particular project. He mentioned what I need is a lookahead in the regex. After a few tries this is what we ultimately came up with this: (?![/]#Variables.Word#)(\W)(#Variables.Word#)(\W) The only downside that we found is if the word is at the very end or beginning of the paragraph. So I will prepend and append a period to the paragraph then run the regex and then pull out the periods. Wish I had clued into that because maybe one of my attempts earlier today would have worked had my test data not had the word at the very end of the paragraph with no period after it.

I think you want Replace(), not ReReplace(). ReReplace is trying to use a RegEx to make the replacement, Replace will do the straight text match/replace.

as far as i can tell, it -would- be two rereplace() statements. you're looking to replace two elements with two different elements. it would be different if, let's say you wanted to replace all spaces and commas with a single element (either a space or nothing)...but you're looking to do two different things entirely: 1) replace all spaces with plus characters 2) replace all commas with nothing (effectively remove all commas) the latter could be done with a replace() statement (as opposed to rereplace())...but as I see it, it's still 2 function calls (unless you wrap those two functions behind a single UDF, which might improve readability) On 11/29/06, Les Mizzell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't know why, but I always get a headache when working with ReReplace and RegEx stuff...

Re: rereplace ?
I'm confused on a number of issues. First, I don't know what characters you're referring to.But that's tangental, anyway. Second, I don't know why you need a regular _expression_.You could just use a regular replace for each one: string = replace(string, chr(123), chr(456), 'all') where 123 and 456 represent the ascii values of the characters you have and you want, respectively. --Ben dave wrote: i have 3 damn chr's that r giving me fits trying to remove from an output string. they are getting there from copy paste from a mac the 3 chr's are em ~ needs to be a ' fs ~ needs to be gs ~ can i do it all in 1 calling or do i need 3? i been trying both but not working tia dave [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Re: Rereplace with regular expression not working as I had hoped.
You need to grab the S from DOGS and the C from Cats that you are replacing. For example: cfset Variables.myNewVar = rereplace(Variables.myOldVar,(.)/(.), .\1/\2.,All) the () around the dots grabs those values. The \1 and \2 put them back in. Does that make sense?

RE: REReplace not working as it should ... or is it me? -- REWRITTEN
If you search the cf-regex archives, they're full of stuff like this. It's a common problem. What you are seeing (I suspect) is the regex grabbing everything from the div id=whatever to the last /div. This is because regex, by default, uses greedy matching. In CFMX, you can do a non-greedy match like so: div id=newsletterBody(.*?)/div In CF5, the easy shortcut is to turn the /divs into something untypable -- I like the bell symbol for no real reason. bell = chr(7) So, string = replacenocase(string, /div, #chr(7)#, all); string = rereplacenocase(string, div id=whatever([^#chr(7)#]*)#chr(7)#, whatever); If you want to discuss this more in depth, I suggest we shlep on over to http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=threadsforumid=21 where we can discuss this on-topic, in depth, and with a good number of very smart regexers. :-) -- Ben Doom Programmer General Lackey Moonbow Software, Inc : -Original Message- : From: mayo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : Sent: Saturday, August 02, 2003 4:04 PM : To: CF-Talk : Subject: REReplace not working as it should ... or is it me? -- : REWRITTEN : : : I'm creating a system to allow some users update parts of their site. : : 1.

Re: REReplace and Replace function
Tuan writes: Can somebody explain what the difference is between the REReplace and Replace function? Im confused when to use one or the other and their differences. replace() is a simple function to replace one character (or string of characters) with another. for example, in the string the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog, you could replace the word 'fox' with 'goldfish' by doing: cfset mystring = the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog cfset myNewString = replace(myString, fox, goldfish, all) reReplace() uses regular expressions (pattern matching) to determine what item/string/characters to replace. Instead of specifying a particular string/character to be replaced, you can specify a pattern (for example, the word 'foo' only if it's the last word in a sentence). I unfortunately still haven't fulfilled my ambition of learning regular expressions...but I'm sure that Ben Doom, the cf-talk RegExp Ninja (tm) will be happy to elaborate there :) Charlie ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
RE: REReplace and Replace function
From: Tuan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Can somebody explain what the difference is between the REReplace and Replace function? Im confused when to use one or the other and their differences. Here's an example. cfset myString=a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0 If I wanted to remove the number 1 from this string, that's simply Replace(myString,1,,ALL) But if I wanted to remove all the numbers, I'd have to do Replace(myString,1,,ALL) Replace(myString,2,,ALL) Replace(myString,3,,ALL) Replace(myString,4,,ALL) Replace(myString,5,,ALL) Replace(myString,6,,ALL) Replace(myString,7,,ALL) Replace(myString,8,,ALL) Replace(myString,9,,ALL) Replace(myString,0,,ALL) Or REReplace(myString,[^0-9],,ALL) Regular Expressions can be quite powerful, and I've only scratched the surface. The syntax can be hard to grok, though.

RE: REReplace and Replace function
Replace() looks for a literal string within another string and replaces it with yet a third string: Replace(contentstring, stringtoreplace, replacement); With REReplace(), you can search for and replace with regular expressions.

Re: REReplace and RegExp
Troy, What you need is a 2-part parser. There isn't an easy way unless you decide to use MS XML Parser or the Apache.org Java parser to parse the XML. If you decided not to use the Apache or the MS XML parsers, here's how your tag parser would do: Step 1: Retrieve a start tag one at a time: agent([[:space:]]*|[[:space:]]+[^]*) Step 2: Retrieve the individual attributes of the tag retrieved in step 1 Step 3: Perform transformation of the attributes in step 2.

RE: REReplace and RegExp
James, Thanks again. Great food for thought. Is there a performance hit with either of the XML Parsers you suggested? If so, what has been your experience? Do these XML Parsers use something called XPath to get the data from the XML Document? Background: I have created a pre-joined resultset of all the records(CITATION) and stored them in an Oracle9i Table (a.k.a Materialize View). This basically takes all the records and joins them together into a denormalized spreadsheet to elliminate the expensive joins at runtime. One of the columns in my Table contains an XML Document compiled from all the tables and columns used for TEXT indexing and searching. Like I said, the documents are stored in an Oracle9i database table column as an XML document of type XMLType (clob or Character Large Object). There is some functionality in the database to parse the XML Document but as of now, I do not know how elaborate or expansive these functions are. Ideally, I am trying to make the Oracle9i Database do the work for me before returning the result set to the ColdFusion Application Server for processing. So far I've been able to get a list of agent tags for all my agents in a Citation. I wonder if the XML functionality in the Oracle9i database exist and is as good as that of the two parsers you suggested? I also have the option to store the values in seperate columns. The problem I am running into is that mutliple agents can exist for each CITATION and I only want one record in the table(a.k.a Materialized View) for each CITATION.

RE: REReplace and RegExp
Here are the URL to the mentioned parsers: Java-based (AND C++,Perl,COM) for the Anti-MS camp: http://xml.apache.org/ Strictly COM-based for the those following the Dark M$ path: http://www.microsoft.com/xml/ The Apache XML Xalan Project supports Xpath in its latest iteration. MS XML 4.0 supports Xpath. Both of these implementations are pretty big and can have a performance hit at script/runtime. In my opinion, they would not scale properly if it is used on a page that gets hit a lot. Both implementations have memory leak issues on certain configurations (I have seen an early Apache parser dies after parsing and transforming 10,000 to 50,000 documents for a particular JVM that I can't remember off the top of my head). The MS XML stuff is notorious for memory leaks for certain pattern of usage. I am sure it has been reduced/eliminated with the latest iteration. I think you may have to batch the processing and store it somewhere. Have the batch run every so often to refresh the data. I doubt the Oracle dudes would do better than the Apache or the Microsoft XML teams. These two implementations are the best out there. I would not be surprised if Oracle used or incorporated a portion of the Apache parser. Good luck! :) James Ang Senior Programmer MedSeek, Inc.

Perhaps your hitting this: From the CFDOCS: In CFML regular expression functions, large input strings (greater than approximately 20,000 characters) cause a debug assertion failure and a regular expression error occurs.
