Updatepattern> Attributes - MACROMEDIA DREAMWEAVER MX 2004-EXTENDING DREAMWEAVER Manual

If the participant text is long and complex, you might need multiple patterns to update a single
parameter, as shown in the following example:
<% ...
Recordset1.CursorType = 0;
Recordset1.CursorLocation = 2;
Recordset1.LockType = 3;
%>
To update the recordset name in all three positions, you need three update patterns for a single
parameter, as shown in the following example:
<updatePattern paramName="rs">
/(\b)\w+(\.CursorType)/
</updatePattern>
<updatePattern paramName="rs">
/(\b)\w+(\.CursorLocation)/
</updatePattern>
<updatePattern paramName="rs">
/(\b)\w+(\.LockType)/
</updatePattern>
Now you can pass in a new value for the recordset, and it is precisely updated in three locations.
