History
ColdFusion MX: Changed behavior: this function inserts the following special characters in
regular expression replacement strings, to control case conversion: \u, \U, \l, \L, and \E. If any of
these strings is present in a ColdFusion 5 application, you must insert a backslash before it (for
example, change "\u" to "\\u").
Parameters
Parameter
string
reg_expression
substring
scope
Usage
For details on using regular expressions, see
in Developing ColdFusion MX Applications.
Example
<p>The REReplaceNoCase function returns <i>string</i> with a regular
expression replaced with <i>substring</i> in the specified scope.
This is a case-insensitive search.
<p>REReplaceNoCase("cabaret","C|B","G","ALL"):
<cfoutput>#REReplaceNoCase("cabaret","C|B","G","ALL")#</cfoutput>
