Re: RegEx Problem Trying to Use Matched Text
Sorry I didn't get back to this. I left early yesterday -- injury time. Anyway, Jeff already gave a good rundown of the classes available to you, so I'll just give an example. If you were searching for a simplified version of an email address like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" you might look for [[:alnum:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:alnum:]]+\.(com|net|org) Does that help some? BTW -- you can also mix this notation with the traditional bracketed class notation. So, if you want "alnums" and underscores, you could use [[:alnum:]_] Just be careful with hyphens -- standard rules there apply. --Ben Josen Ruiseco wrote: > The regex used to find the email address and the replacement regex > are from the book.

Re: RegEx Problem Trying to Use Matched Text
Josen, ColdFusion uses the POSIX regular _expression_ character sets which are listed below: alnum - the set of alpha-numeric characters alpha - the set of alphabetic characters blank - tab and space cntrl - the control characters digit - decimal digits graph - all printable characters except space lower - lower case letters print - the "printable" characters space - whitespace characters upper - upper case letters as opposed to the \s, \w, \d that perl and a few other languages use. -Jeff GO PACK! > The regex used to find the email address and the replacement regex are > from the book.

RE: RegEx Problem Trying to Use Matched Text
Heres a regex I use for email address finding. Maybe this can get you
moving in the right direction
ReFindNoCase("[EMAIL PROTECTED]")>

CF5 doesn't support Perlish character classes (ie "\w").
IIRC, you can use [[:alnum:]] to replace them.
BTW -- are you sure this is a direct copy from the book (aside from the
\1 vs $1 change)? It looks odd in several ways to me.

Re: RegEx Problem Trying to Use Matched Text
The regex used to find the email address and the replacement regex are from the book. The reReplaceNoCase and the output stuff is me. I do not follow you with the [[:alnum:]] example. Please expound.

I am trying to follow the regex example on page 82 of Ben Forta's "regular Expressions in 10 Minutes" book.
