I don't think you need a regex, although it might be faster. Using double quotes as the delimiter, all the even numbered elements will be the ones you want to convert.

Decent Idea... If you still want the regex, it'd be something like this:
commadelimiter = '"([^,]*?),([^"]*?)"';
while (REFind(mystring,commadelimiter)) {
mystring = REREplace(mystring,commadelimiter,'"\1-\2"','ALL');
}

I think the first solution without the regexp works a bit better, but take your pick: width: #width#, height: #height# width: #width#, height: #height# Only problem with both is there is no error checking for the case where no width/height is set, and also the regexp would return the wrong result if the filename had numbers in it.

RE: Regex
I saw that you got an answer to this, and it's basically the same one I would have given, so I won't talk about script names. I will say that there are a number of places to learn about regex. If you are running CFMX, or if you want to learn about regex in general, and not necessarily CF regex specifically, then I'd reccommend Mastering Regular Expressions 2ed from O'Reilly. Pretty good book, and the best I've seen about RE. If you are running CF5 (or IIRC CF 4.5) you should check out Micheal Dinowitz's tutorial on House of Fusion. It's pretty decent as a beginner's guide as I recall. Either way, if you want to learn about them, I highly reccommend the HoF RegEx list: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=threads&forumid=21 where several of us (by which I mean really sharp regex people) are happy to discuss how to do something and why that works. They've even helped me debug a new, more accurate email validation regex (check the archives, folks!), so they are pretty useful guys. :-) HTH. -- Ben Doom Programmer & General Lackey Moonbow Software, Inc : -Original Message- : From: Ryan Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 5:36 AM : To: CF-Talk : Subject: Regex : : : Yet another regex...

Re: regex ?
Are you wanting to do it in one line? I think you'd need to do multiple regexs anyway. You could just use the list functions (code untested): "))," "> "))," "> Best to wrap this in a custom tag or UDF. Alternatively you could use CF's datetime functions or multiple regexs.

Re: regex ?
you know you could use create date if they are all in that format... #createDate(listLast(string, " "), listGetAt(string, 2, " "), listFirst(string, " "))# this might work... then you can get what you want out of it using dateFormat or whatever.

>>it doesn't write the REGEX for you Such a tag is still to be invented ;-) However, the main idea in CF_REExtract is that most of the time it is MUCH easier to describe in a REGEX what's before and what's after the string you want to extract, than to describe the string itself.

Re: regex
Russ,
If I understand correctly, this might be of help:
#Mid(teststring,REFind(regex,teststring,start),11)#
The regular expression is based on that you have a dd-mmm-
pattern. Then you loop over your file content until it runs out of
"hits".
Best of luck,
Caroline Wise

RE: regex
Problem with that approach Is that each WHOIS output is different for each
TLD, and there are multiple dates on the page, and the expiry date or
whatever I want to extract will be in a different format.
I gave Spikes code a try for the HELL of it and strangely that did parse all
the chr(10) chars, so it must just be the Find() function that fails on
that, learn something new every day.
Anyway I have resorted back to good old fashioned string manipulation
functions after using listtoarray() to extract all the lines as per Spikes
example and it all works fine now.
I now have a handy dandy component for doing whois lookups and extracting
specific info from them.
In case your wondering why I would want to do this, it is to update our
domains database with the current expiry dates and contact info for each
domain.

Russ,
If I understand correctly, this might be of help:
#Mid(teststring,REFind(regex,teststring,start),11)#
The regular expression is based on that you have a dd-mmm- pattern. Then
you loop over your file content until it runs out of "hits".
Best of luck,

You might consider just stripping out everything that is not a number (but that might cause problems): #REReplace( YOUR_LIST, "[^\d]+", ",", "ALL" )# Where YOUR_LIST ist he string that has all that member output.

Re: regex
The only punctuation that \w matches is underscore. To match hyphen also, use [\w-], which then gives the expression "/[\w-]+/" (To match hyphen but not underscore [a-zA-Z0-9-] is what you want) NOTE: The hyphen must be first/last in the class, or be escaped with a backslash. To specifically ignore "/images/filename.jpg" you need to ensure the second slash is at the end of the string, (and the opening slash at the start), so use: "^/[\w-]+/$" ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: regex
That'll probably be matching against the full hostname, so try this: RewriteRule /[\w-]+/$ index.cfm\?name=$1 [NC,L] Also might be necessary to escape the slashes, so if that doesn't work give this a try: RewriteRule \/[\w-]+\/$ index.cfm\?name=$1 [NC,L] (Another thing you could try is using \z instead of the $, i.e. /[\w-]+/\z but I doubt that's the problem.) Oh, and I'm not sure if you need to escape the question mark in the second part? Try just index.cfm?name=$1 for that. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

I think he wants to make it part of the t-sql code. Do you really need to test for all three of these? Will there ever be a carriage return in the Age value that's valid?

I want to replace any occurrence of multiple -- in string so the entire
string only contains one - in a row after filtering.
Something like this does (sort of):
#Replacelist("#mayvar#","-,,---,--","-,-,-,-")#
But with regex more like:
#ReReplace("#myvar#","--,"-","ALL")#
How do I write a reg to change all multiple -- to result in only one -?

I want to replace any occurrence of multiple -- in string so the entire
string only contains one - in a row after filtering.
Something like this does (sort of):
#Replacelist("#mayvar#","-,,---,--","-,-,-,-")#
But with regex more like:
#ReReplace("#myvar#","--,"-","ALL")#
How do I write a reg to change all multiple -- to result in only one -?

RE: Regex Help
Fixing the current links within your site so that they're search engine safe will actually break ALL of your indexed links within Google, or Yahoo, etc. Having a URL rewrite in place alongside your code changes will allow Google to keep your links indexed and update them the next time it indexes your site. My host uses ISAPI_REWRITE for IIS and here's what my .htaccess file looks like for my blog: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule category/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+) index.cfm?verb=category&term=$1 RewriteRule search/([a-zA-Z0-9-,]+) index.cfm?verb=search&term=$1 RewriteRule rss/([a-zA-Z0-9-,]+)? rss.cfm?feed=$1 I personally HATE having to have the index.cfm in my links so I wrote this to keep me from having to do that. A category link might look like this: http://andymatthews.net/category/jQuery/ What the regex does in the second line above is to capture (regex) everything after category/ and pass it to index.cfm as verb=category&term=jQuery andy -Original Message- From: Robert Harrison [mailto:rob...@austin-williams.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 10:24 AM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: Regex Help > Why not use url rewrite instead?

You can certainly use embedded URL parameters, and Google will still index your pages. But Google, like regular people, can make more sense out of URLs that themselves make more sense. This has nothing to do with laziness, and everything to do with how URLs are meant to be used: http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI In general, when it comes to SEO, common sense is your best guide. And there's a good argument to be made that implementation details should be minimized or removed entirely from URLs. > > Why not use url rewrite instead? > > If it's this: > http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/460/using-the-url-rewrite-module/ that looks > good but it also requires server IIS intervention.

RE: Regex Help
> Fixing the current links within your site so that they're search engine safe will actually break ALL of your indexed links within Google, or Yahoo, etc. In this case I put in a hook old so the old links still work. They do a 301 redirect to the new link schema. That should cover the search engines and any bookmarks. It seems to be working... http://www.austin-williams.com/news.cfm. All the links are now SEO 'friendly'. I've set it up so the CMS automatically builds the link when new records are added. Most of the time there is no need to change that, but I've also put in an option to 'rebuild' a link on record update. It defaults to OFF, but it can be forced on to do it sometimes. Here's a case in point why I did that... One thing we build is banking sites. So they create an account and it builds the link: http://commercialbank.com/accounts/free-checking. That's great, but now the CEO they can't afford to give away checking accounts anymore, so they need to charge $2/month. So the update the account, but http://commercialbank.com/accounts/free-checking is misleading. In this case they need to change the link, so they have an option to rebuild to, say: http://commercialbank.com/accounts/really-cheap-checking. I see no way around this. In spite of the best efforts, some links may occasionally be lost. Robert B.

Re: Regex Help
It was on the link I posted. However after going to it again I see it's not outputting the same as it was. Weird. I'm on chrome. Her text description was displaying hundreds of little rectangles. Like when character encoding is improper. On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 12:28 PM, Robert Harrison < rob...@austin-williams.com> wrote: > > Hmmm.

Re: Regex Help
This is neither here nor there, but the URLRewriteFilter can go on the
actual application server, thus negating the need for IIS or Apache
intervention, and as an added bonus, can do outbound rules as well.
This means that you don't need to change your internal links from:
index.cfm?somevar=woohoo, and instead can do this:
getPageContext().getResponse().encode("index.cfm?somevar=woohoo") and
have the HTML href that is returned to the client look like this:
/somevar/woohoo (and obviously have incoming /somevar/woohoo requests
translated to index.cfm?somevar=woohoo).
You still have to wrap stuff with the encode() deal, so it's not
super-cool if you've got a lot of links various places, but it's
probably a pretty fast way to go "pretty URL style" without having to
do much more than wrap your links with encode().
Just food for thought. I'm really liking it, and it doesn't add much overhead.
I know this probably doesn't make much sense, but I can elaborate if
anyone is actually interested. :)

Re: REGEX hell
no need to escape the space char with a slash. are you sure it is only 1 space, and are you sure it is a space char (chr(32))? If so, remove the slash in front of the space, and it should work. also, pet peeve, no need for the ## around the function. Works either way, though, so ignore if you prefer.

Re: REGEX hell
Are you sure it's a space and not 2 spaces? Or a tab? Try using \s* to indicate that there may be one or more space characters. \)\s*\) On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 8:48 PM, Rick Colman wrote: > > I am trying to replace two trailing parens )) with a single paren. > > here is a sample string: > > (K AAA) (N AAC) (E GAA) ) > > looks like there is a space in between the two )), so I tried: > > > > but this is not working. > > Any ideas as two what is wrong greatly appreciated. > > > ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339443 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
