Ok, no doubt this is an easy RegEx question, but not for me.
I have two queries. One returns a set of names, the other a string which may
or may not contain one or more of the names.
I want to check for the existence of a name in the string, and if I find it,
make it a hyperlink.
So far I
Is there a delimited in the list of names (work_string), something that
you can include in your reg ex to anchor it to an entire entry?

Reorder by length so the longer names come first. Also, I think you only
need replace(works_string, artist, a
href='profiles.cfm?e=#profileID#' target='artistWin'#artist#/a, all)

It does really look like your using Regex's. Since you're looking for
strings essentially, can't you just use ReplaceNoCase?

No, sadly. It's just a field of text, sometimes the entries (names) are
seperated by commas, sometimes by new lines, but not everything is a name.
A bit of background - basically, this is a text description about an event,
and includes the names of the artists performing. I'm trying to implement
Are the names delimited by something (like commas) or just strung together?

Hi James,
See my previous reply. They aren't delimited by anything in particular.
Thanks.

I think this is a good approach too, but it will get complicated because
you have to avoid matching text inside an existing already-hyperlinked
bit of text. I suspect that this is less of a regex problem and the
solution will require searching for strings manually, but at least the
solution can
Well, I've got a couple of comments, for what they're worth. First,
you're not using RegEx. Next, it appears that what you're doing here:
cfset works_string = qry_getEvent.works
cfloop query=qry_getProfiles
cfset works_string = REReplaceNoCase(#works_string#,
Hi Bobby,
Out of interest, how would I reorder by length? In the query? MySQL 4.1.7
Thanks

Yes, I'm in agreement. I wondered if a regex was the answer here, but I have
no idea.
Interestingly, if I reverse the order of the query I still get the same
result, which is odd and not what I'd expect. I did a cfdump of the query to
check it is ordered correctly.
I'm beginning to think an
Yes, Do it in your query. Try this...
Select artist
From tablename
Order by length(artist)

I dont know what I was thinking but that wont work either. Say you had
Bobby and Bobby Hartsfield
If you replaced Bobby Hartsfield with a link then Bobby... the code would
replace the Bobby within Bobby Hartsfield
You will need to order the names by length descending to make sure the
longer
Or a couple loops
!--- loop the query and replace the names with markers ---
cfloop query=artists
cfset thetext = replacenocase(thetext, artist, **#currentrow#**,
all) /
/cfloop
!--- now loop again and replace the placeholders with their links ---
cfloop query=artists
cfset
Good plan. I reckon that will work. Now to play with the regex...
Cheers
