Re: string function???

[Dain Anderson]

I'm curious what exactly you're trying to do, which might reveal a better
way of doing it.

Are you trying to replace variable placeholders so that you can evaluate the
code chunk?

thanks dain, this has made me realise i really need to know more about regular 
expressions, as i could have another string that has now() instead of the 
parenthesis:



have played around with the expression you suggested to pick up anything 
between the datediff() as then i can run the rematch from example above, 
although my attempts have all failed so far...

hi, what if I had a string such as:

the datediff() part of the string? so effectively the returned array would 
include only {name2} and {name3}

this must be possible with the rematch that you have already helped me with, 
but i cannot seem to understand how to change the regular expression to make it 
return these results

RE: string function???

[Bobby Hartsfield]

Check out refind using the returnSubExpressions set to TRUE. It will return
an array of position and length for each of the matched items. You can use
those len and pos values to grab each value with the mid() function.

For example...

Hi,

i have various strings in the following format:

'({name1}+{name2})/365.25'

i need to get all the names from in between the curly brackets {} and place
them in an array. (so the above example would put name1 and name2 in an
array)

what would be the best way to do this?

thanks

Well you have multiple ways you can do this - but you may want to try
reMatch. Given a regex it will return all the matches.

You are right. It should before the cfif.

That should not happen. As long as the form was submitted, I believe the 
form.fieldNames variable should always exist. Also the extra loop is not needed 
and may even produce the wrong results.

I think the previous code should work. At least once you get rid of the extra 
loop and move the newValue variable declaration. But maybe I am not 
understanding what you mean by "columns". Any way you can provide a small 
example?

Re: String function question

Yes I did. Had to make some changes though. Still did not produce the 
desired result. Here is what I did:

Original code: newValue was being created inside the cfif's, but was not 
there in the last CFSET. Also, form.FieldNames were not being found 
until I added the loop before the CFIF's. What I get though are x's in 
the first column only if the first column stayed selected. Once I 
selected one of the other two coluns, all fields are blank. And the text 
fields are always blank.

Re: String function question

The biggest problem I am having is getting the columns for the form to 
line up properly (they are a series of radio buttons). I can get all of 
the values and the text fields fill in properly. The radio button values 
fill in with what I select, just not in the correct column.

Re: String function question

This is probably too late to help, but I did a similar hackish job:


#thisForm.editForm(url.formnum)#


contents = rereplace(thisForm,"]*>(.*?)","\1","all");
contents = rereplace(contents,']+text[^>]+value[
=]+["'']([^"]*)[^>]+>',"\1","all");
contents = rereplacenocase(contents,"(.*?)","","all");


The cfsavecontent contains the rendered form, with values, and I just
chopped the inputs off the values, basically, leaving the value there
"alone".

The select box stuff was commented out, so I bet I never got that working...
this is a nasty way of doing things, but worked for what it was needed for.

Figured I'd put the code out there, anyways. *shrug*  =]

The only thing coming to mind is a series of ugly loops. Either matching on 
input name+value or input+type.  What version of CF are you using, btw?

Re: String function question

OK, with the help of Hatton and others I am closer. I have this:


 ]*>","","all")#>
 ]*>","","all")#>

 
]*type="radio"[^>]*>', 
"x","ONE")#>

]*type="radio"[^>]*>', 
" ","ONE")#>

 ]*name="#field#"[^>]*>', 
form[field],"ONE")#>
 ]*name="#field#"[^>]*>', 
" ","ALL")#>
 


The extra replaces are for the radio buttons. Basically what I am trying 
to do now is match the submitted radio to the column it corresponds to 
but it is not working correctly. I thought that if I found the header 
field from the form they would match up but that is not correct. Can 
anyone see what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks again for the answers,

Bruce

Re: String function question

[Charlie Griefer]

quick update... the following code does get me "bob" as the output.

concerns:
1) evaluate()  (ugh)
2) my regex needs to be tweaked.  if the  self-closes, it picks
up the slash (e.g. if it's , the
regex matches firstname" / ... it grabs the closing quote and the
slash).









]*name=\"(.*?)\"*>',"form['\1']","all")#>
]*>","","all")#>
]*>","","all")#>

#evaluate(newContentBlock)#

Re: String function question

[Charlie Griefer]

with the caveat that i'm no regex guru either (which will become
abundantly clear when you see my code below)... you should be able to
capture the 'name' attribute of the input element using backreferences
and then spit out the value.

here's what i have so far, which unfortunately doesn't work... but
might lead you in the right direction.  unfortunately, i don't have
too much time to play around with it more.  gotta catch a flight in a
couple of hours.









]*name=\"(.*?)\"*>',"form[\1]","all")#>
]*>","","all")#>
]*>","","all")#>

#newContentBlock#

what i'm unable to do... which seems to be the key here, is getting
form[firstname] (which should actually have quotes around the
'firstname') to evaluate to "bob".  i've tried a few combinations
(including "#form['\1']#" in the rereplace), but haven't had any luck
:\

I am not a regex expert either, but what about using form.fieldNames to replace 
the input fields by name? To be safe you might follow it up with another 
blanket " replace. Just in case some of the field names do not match 
for some reason.

]*>","","ALL")>

 ]*name="#field#"[^>]*>', 
form[field],"ALL")>

Re: String function question

[Bruce Sorge]

This is not exactly what I am looking for. I already know how to create 
the PDF and attach it to an email. What I am doing is stripping the 
input elements from the form, and I want to replace them with what was 
submitted. And remember, the form is actually stored in the DB. This is 
what I have to strip the form elements:
In the output below, the query result is the actual HTML for the entire 
form.


 ]*>","","ALL")#>
]*>","","ALL")#>
]*>","","ALL")#>


Since the first cfset strips all the input elements, I am thinking that 
I can replace those with what was submitted, but this is the part where 
I am stuck. Regex is not a strong suite of mine I admit. Am I taking the 
right approach here or am I over-complicating things? I guess what I am 
trying to say is that I need to match the input elements name to the 
submitted form element name, and replace the input with the submitted 
value. There are text fields and radio buttons on this form.

Thanks again for the answers.

Re: String function question

Two forms is not an option. The entire HTML is stored in the db. I will 
work on the regex some more to replace the in put elements with the 
submitted values. Regex is not a strong suite for me.

emailed as an attachment. I know how to do that part. What they want is 
for the submitted PDF to look exactly like the HTML form that they

strip out all of the input and form elements as well, leaving me with

though is how to get the submitted values to replace the void left when 
I strip the input elements.
I know that I need to find the form field names and then match them up

but you can determine that just as easily using the listLen() function :)

altho I do think Ian (and Eric's) suggestion about using listToArray()
is the most concise and straightforward.

Re: String Function

[Jon Clausen]

Deepak,

You should be able to use:







Or you can use listChangeDelims() : http://www.cfquickdocs.com/?

Re: String Function

[Ben Doom]

Use the standard list functions (like listgetat()) using "_" as the 
delimiter.  So, to get BC, you could use

listgetat(list, 2, "_")

RE: String Function

[Andy Matthews]

Use ListGetAt:

ListGetAt(string,1,"_")  would give you AB
ListGetAt(string,2,"_")  would give you BC, etc.

RE: String Function

[Mosh Teitelbaum]

Deepak:

You can use the various List functions as long as you specify an underscore
as the delimiter.  If the string is always going to have 3 elements to it,
you could simply do something like:






If the string will not always be 3 elements long, combine ListGetAt() with
ListLen() and loop over the length of the "list" to dynamically pull out the
elements.

I think this is done automatically in MX, but if you're pre-mx, try:


value="#HTMLEditFormat(Title)#">

I have a record where the Title field is:

Marysville "Monarchs" vs. Worthington "Cardinals"

This string is passed to the database with no problem using my input form.

The problem arises when I try to populate an update form with this same
string.

Here's the code for the update form:



Here's what this code outputs: 

Title: Marysville

Obviously I need to add some sort of a string function to accommodate the
quotes in the title data.

Any recommendations?
