Regular Expression - Need Help

[_andyK]

Hi,

I have the following:
<cfset input ="
Origin: cohnok-530a
(190.068.59.250)
Type: Log
Action: Accept
Service: nagios-nsc
lient (1248)">

For the line that starts with Service. I want it to be one continous line
Service: nagios-nsclient (1248)

I've tried the code below, but it is not doing the trick.
<cfset input = REreplace (input, "[[:cntrl:]]"," ","ALL")>

Any Advice on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Andy

try to use back referencing in the regular expression.

Can't seem to figure out how to get that to work

What exactly do you mean? From your example, the line wrap comes from your
own code. If you don't want it there... take it out.

I'm guessing it's not entirely clear as to the circumstances that line gets
broken (because it's certainly not what you're suggesting).

Elaboration?

Adam,

The line is broken. I am importing this text from a file and in some instances this sort of line wrap happens. So I need a way to make it one long line.

Thanks

You probably wannna look at \s

Adam,

Thanks, I tried it but I can not figure out how to get the reg expression
syntax:

<cfset input = REreplaceNoCase (input,
"[a-z][[:cntrl:]]([a-z])[[:cntrl:]]+\1","\1","ALL")>
and
<cfset input = REreplaceNoCase (input, "[a-z]\s([a-z])\s+\1","\1","ALL")>

Neither one of these captures the pattern that I am looking for.

Thanks

Andy

You may have carriage returns and line feeds (ascii 13 and ascii10,
respectively) in your string. You can remove them with the code below.



<CFSET foo = REReplace(yourString, "#Chr(13)#|#Chr(10)#", " ", "ALL")>

[_andyK]

<cfset input = REreplaceNoCase (input, "[a-z][[:cntrl:]]([a-z])","\1","ALL")> is the closest I have gotten to make this work but it still fails
The chr.. didn't accomplish anything

Thanks

Andy
