Get a string with HTML tags inside a larger string with ColdFusion regex -

-

i'm new regular expressions , use help.

i attempting use coldfusion rereplace scrape data , desired content.

this have far:

<cfoutput> #rereplace("remove please <p>make display please</p> remove please", "", "", "all")# </cfoutput>

what regular expression take string , return "make display please"?

in order subtext longer string, need match need, capture need capturing group (...), , match rest of string end. replacement \1 back-reference references text captured capturing group.

so, use

#rereplace("remove please <p>make display please</p> remove please", ".*<p>(.*?)</p>.*", "\1", "all")#

the regex matches:

  • .* - matches character newline beginning last </p>
  • <p> - literal <p>
  • (.*?) - 0 or more characters other newline symbol few possible (it means closest </p> here)
  • </p> - matches literal </p>
  • .* - matches rest of text end (no newlines).

to match newlines, use [\s\s] instead of ..

i got string (str1) , want extract after pattern "mycode=", local str1 = "servername/codebase/?mycode=abc123"; local tmp1 = string.match(str1, "mycode=%w+"); local tmp2 = string.gsub(tmp1,"mycode=", ""); from logs, tmp1 => mycode=abc123 tmp2 => abc123 is there better/more efficient way this? belive lua strings not follow posix standard (due size of code base). yes, use capture in pattern control string.match . from lua reference manual (emphasis mine): looks first match of pattern in string s. if finds one, match returns captures pattern ; otherwise returns nil. if pattern specifies no captures, whole match returned. third, optional numerical argument init specifies start search; default value 1 , can negative. it works this: > local str1 = "servername/codebase/?mycode=abc123" > local tmp1 = string.match(str1, "mycode=%w+") > print(tmp1) mycode=abc123 > local tmp2 =...
