tracker issue : CF-3134978

Can you tell me the exact scenario where you are using this regular expression i.e. the function in which you are using this regular expression. Also, can you send the program in Java or any other language in which you're able to run the same example. (Comment added from ex-user id:sagarg)

Sure I a, using it against a string that has the value src="/path/images/imgaename.png" BUt it wont matter because ColdFusion complains about the string <= which is look behind I believe in regex.

Sagar, I have asked for help on Google+ regarding this issue as well. It appears that there are other things that ColdFusion is not doing right here as well. I added your name to the comments, so could you read up and give these examples a go please. As you can see by all accounts there must be something else going on here as well.

I did see the comments on the Google + post and the regular expression presented was \"([^"]+)\". This example works: <cfset testString = 'blah blah src="images/test.gif" blah blah'> <cfset groups = ReFind('src=\"([^"]+)\"', testString, 1, true)> <cfset match = Mid(testString, groups.pos[2], groups.len[2])> <!--- match should contain what you want ---> <cfoutput>#match#</cfoutput> Can you let me know the regular expression and the context in which it is failing.

Ok here is the code <cfsavecontent variable="test" > that would suit them, and the change now means that you can not do this anymore.

See attached image for result

My understanding is that this is supposed to remove the quotes from the string, which you can clearly see is not the case.

Comment by External U.

But even that aside, the listed regex in this ticket still wont work in CF9/10 either.

Comment by External U.

<cfloop array="#images#" index="i"> <cfset temp = reMatchNoCase('src=\"([^"]+)\"', i)/> <cfset images1 = ReFind('src=\"([^"]+)\"', temp[1], 1, true)> <cfset match = Mid(temp[1], images1.pos[2], images1.len[2])> <cfdump var="#match#"> </cfloop> the above code works just fine.

Comment by Adobe D.

Yes, but you had to add the Mid to remove the quotes. From what I understand if the reFind() uses an expression like "()" then it is what is in the parenthesis that should be extracted. At least this is what people are telling me, and what that google+ post and comments had been suggesting.

Comment by External U.

Can you pls explain how this is being fixed? Are you finally dropping Apache ORO? Blimey. Andrew, if you need to use look behinds, why don't you just use the Java regex engine? ColdFusion (via Apache ORO) *does* support look-aheads, btw. Both positive and negative. It's look-behinds CF doesn't have natively.
