Re: Replace Question
This is a case for Regular Expressions (RegEx):
REReplaceNoCase(answer, '(#search_string#)', 'span
class=keyword\1/span', 'all')#
Heh, just seen this after the other thread, so guess I'll repeat what I said
there:
Using parentheses is completely unnecessary. Use \0 in the replacement string
instead.
If search_string is (for example) $10 or :) or a+b^c or whatever then
simply using it as a regex_pattern will cause problems.
To solve this means escaping the meta-characters, for example,
search_string.replaceAll('[$^*()+\[\]{}.?\\|]','\\$0')
Putting both those together results in:
REReplaceNoCase
( answer
, search_string.replaceAll('[$^*()+\[\]{}.?\\|]','\\$0')
, 'span class=keyword\0/span'
, 'all'
)
(Though of course, as noted in the other thread, this doesn't deal with HTML.)

RE: Replace Question
I have a search results pages and I'd like to highlight the search term to show the matches. Of course, search is not case sensitive. On the results I can do something like: Better written results: #ReplaceNoCase(answer, search_string,span class=keyword search_string /span,all)# This puts a nice little highlight around the search term and makes it easy to see in the results, but it may change the case. For example, if I search for mick jagger and it finds Mick Jagger, my answer come out like: ... and a mick jagger was guy with big lips who dreamed of being a Beatle... Is there a way I could do the replace to highlight the result and NOT change the case?

Re: Replace Question
This is a case for Regular Expressions (RegEx): REReplaceNoCase(answer, '(#search_string#)', 'span class=keyword\1/span', 'all')# 1. Search the content of the variable answer 2. Look for the content of the variable search_string 2a. Because parenthesis are being used and we're doing RegEx, the matched text will be 'captured' for later use. The parenthesis are special characters, not part of what is being matched. 3. Replace the matched content with: span class=keyword\1/span 3a. take the captured text from the match and place it within the span block in place of the \1 \1 will contain the exact text matched with whatever case it had rather than the case of the search_string On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 2:25 PM, Robert Harrison rob...@austin-williams.com wrote: I have a search results pages and I'd like to highlight the search term to show the matches.

'(' search_string ')'
I drop all attempts at being anal about #s when I'm working with RegEx.
RegEx is anal enough.

RE: Replace Question: Part II
