Re: Replacing characters in a string

2009-08-20 Thread Jason Fisher 

Good call on the parens.  I had those in the original since I had ripped 
from code that did use the /1 element later on.  Also, you could use 
#reReplaceNoCase()# as an alternative to [aA] ... but I like the [aA] 
better, for no particular reason.

You've got two syntaxes mixed up there.

(?:a|A) or [aA] is what you want - no bar needed for square brackets.

> ]+>

That's not a lazy match - it's still greedy, just with a 1-char minimum match 
(which means it wont now remove "").

To make it lazy, you would want *? or +? except you don't actually want to make 
it lazy here.

If anything, instead of greedy it should be possessive (using *+ or ++) but 
with the example here posessive wouldn't make much difference.
(It's main benefit is for when you've got "almost matches" which you want to 
exclude faster, as possessive prevents backtracking.)

And either way, you can't do possessive with the CF regex engine - you'd need 
to use the Java one:

]*+>' , '' ) />

But since there's minimal benefit and that syntax would confuse some people, 
I'd probably just stick to:

]*>' , '', 'all' ) />


And I'd like to call specific attention to the lack of parentheses compared to 
the earlier suggestions, because they're completely unnecessary.

Hello Andy & Jason,

Thank you so much, this worked well. I wasn't sure of the syntax so this
really helped.

Kind regards,

Rick

Just so you know, this is what that expression is doing:

] - character set which says everything BUT >
* - zero or more times
> - literal string

So the expression says
1) Look for a <
2) With zero or one /
3) Followed by a
4) Any character (but >) any number of times
5) Followed by a >

This wouldn't match anchor tags with upper case, but could be changed like
so:

]*>

And I think it might be best to use a lazy match:

]+>

The plus says "one or more" rather than "zero or more" like the kleene star.

Replacing characters in a string

2009-08-19 Thread Rick Sanders 

Hey all,

 

I'm trying to replace a hyperlink and just display the text. I need to
remove the http://www.google.ca";>www.google.ca
  from text within fckeditor and just display
the text www.google.ca I tried finding a setting for the editor so it
doesn't automatically create hyperlinks when you type www. Or http:// but
didn't see such a setting.

 

Here's what I have so far:

http://","";)>



","")>

","")>

#ad4#

 

It works, but it duplicates the link. How can I remove the duplicate?

 

Thanks,

 

Rick Sanders
