RE: Regular Expression in Extended Search and Replace
Bob - Like David said, it's just like using the RE replace functions. If you've got the Advanced ColdFusion 4.0 Ben Forta book, take a look at chapter 20 for specifics on regular expressions. David - If your search is taking too long and you want to abort, perform another search on something that that you know won't take long (like searching a blank document). The current search will be cancelled in lieu of the new search which returns immediately. -Greg Witte -Original Message- From: David Cummins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2000 6:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Regular Expression in Extended Search and Replace As far as I know, its the same as REs in the ColdFusion functions, Bob.

Re: Regular Expression in Extended Search and Replace
Thanks Greg. Its just it happens a bit because I often use the CF regular expression engine for reformatting HTML off web sites into DB insertable records, or searching for overly redundant code, and other such tasks. Sometimes I goof the REs and it virtually hangs because there are so many potential matches. David Cummins Greg Witte wrote: Bob - Like David said, it's just like using the RE replace functions.
