replace issue

Hi,

I've got a problem, which appears to be quite simple but I'm struggeling to find the solution.

I'm doing a replace on specific strings in my content which is being pulled into my pages.

e.g.

<cfset request.vContent = Rereplace(request.vContent, "\bMyWord\b","\bMyNewWord\b", "ALL")>

Code (markup):

This words fine... infact it words too well as it also replaces the string "myWord" in anchor text and titles, which is what i need to eliminate.

for example

<a href="www.MyWord.com" title="MyWord">MyWord link</a>

Code (markup):

becomes:

<a href="www.MyNewWord.com" title="MyNewWord">MyNewWord link</a>

Code (markup):

when it needs to be:

<a href="www.MyWord.com" title="MyWord">MyNewWord link</a>

Code (markup):

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Sam.

 

Replace >MyWord not just MyWord


<cfset test = '<a href="www.MyWord.com" title="MyWord">MyWord link</a>' />

<cfset vContent = Rereplace(test, ">MyWord",">MyNewWord", "ALL")>

<cfdump var="#vContent#" />

 

Or use a regular expression to only replace words that are not within < and >
