Re: Manipulating bullet list ul tag using Regex or something else
As long as you can guarantee that you won't have nested lists, it's pretty easy. rereplacenocase(string, (ul.*?/ul), p#1#\p, all) Not tested, from memory, YMMV, keep head and arms inside the regex at all times. And I've done backreferencing in 3 languages since doing it in CF. I think the #1# is right, but I could be wrong about that. --Ben Regex Ninja Doom Jide Aliu wrote: Hi, Is it possible to wrap a p tag round bullet list like the examplme below, amongst a massive chunk of data, basically wherever the function or regex finds an opening and closed ul tag it wraps an opening and closing p tag rounds it: p ul liFirst line/li liFirst line/li liFirst line/li liFirst line/li /ul /p Many thanks ~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.

Heh. I gotta stop looking for zebras. Even if someone shouts Zebra!

Why not just use CSS to style ul (space it with margins or whatever)? -Original Message- From: Jochem van Dieten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2007 6:40 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Manipulating bullet list ul tag using Regex or something else Jide Aliu wrote: Is it possible to wrap a p tag round bullet list like the examplme below, amongst a massive chunk of data, basically wherever the function or regex finds an opening and closed ul tag it wraps an opening and closing p tag rounds it: You don't even need a regex for that, just use two regular replace operations: ReplaceNocase(ReplaceNocase(text, /ul, /ulp, All, ul, pul, All) Jochem ~| CF 8 â Scorpio beta now available, easily build great internet experiences â Try it now on Labs http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_adobecf8_beta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:284077 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Thanks for all your replies guys, I'm actually putting the tag in an XML document, which makes Jochem solution as easy as it is does the job. ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.

RegEx or something else?
If I am outputting the first n characters of a string to a page, like this: The quick brown fox jumped over... And I want to make sure I never get this: The quick brown fox jumped o Would I used RegEx? Or something else? What's the easiest way to make sure that that last bit of the string displayed is a whole word?

RE: RegEx or something else?
Try something like this. It's easier to write than to explain :) cfset myString=The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. cfset n = 30 cfif not mid(myString,n,1) eq cfset n = find( ,myString,n) /cfif cfset myString = left(myString,n) cfoutput#myString#/cfoutput Good Luck!
