Subject: RE: [Any RegEx wizards about??]

Here is some sample code.. You must escape all quotes since they are a CF string.

So the first REReplace replaces everything between two quote marks.

So: This is some string "In quotes" :)

Becomes: This is some string "My New Quote!!" :)

The second regular expression will yield: This is some string **In quotes** :)

You did everything right except you are dealing with a ColdFusion string and to escape a double quote in a coldfusion string you must put two of them.

A backslash will not really work sinec that will give you an error.

<CFSET strFoo = "This is some string ""In quotes"" :)"> <CFOUTPUT>#strFoo#<BR></CFOUTPUT>

<CFSET strFoo = REReplace(strFoo, """[^""]*""", """My New Quote!!""")> <CFOUTPUT>#strFoo#<BR></CFOUTPUT>

<CFSET strFoo = REReplace(strFoo, """", "**", "ALL")> <CFOUTPUT>#strFoo#<BR></CFOUTPUT>
