    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 > ;)
