cfscript and replace() function

[twcman]

OK,
I have a string #body#. I know this string has an image tage at the begining. The length of the tag is variable #vCount.len[1]#. Using the replace function all I want to do is place a <BR> at the end so the text following the image tag will appear under the image instead of above. Here is the syntax I have so far:

body1=Replace(#body#,'Left(body,#vCount.len[1]#)','left(body,#vCount.len[1]#)<BR>',&quot;ONE&quot;

It passes without errors but does not produce desired result.

Thanks,

This script will put a [COLOR=000080]<br>[/color] tag after every [COLOR=000080]<img>[/color] tag in a string:

=== START CODE EXAMPLE ===
<cfscript>
string = 'This text is before the image
<img src=&quot;images/test.jpg&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; height=&quot;10&quot;>
...and this text if after the image';

string = ReReplaceNoCase(string, &quot;(<img

[

^>

]

+>)&quot;, &quot;\1<BR>&quot;, &quot;ALL&quot;);
</cfscript>

<cfoutput>
[COLOR=000080]<b>[/color]Source:[COLOR=000080]</b>[/color] #HTMLEditFormat(string)#
</cfoutput>
=== END CODE EXAMPLE === - tleish

Your code doesn't work because are putting the function &quot;left(...)&quot; inside quotes. The function returns a string so you don't want quotes around it. As you wrote it (assuming that the length is 25), you are replacing the literal string &quot;Left(body,25)&quot; with &quot;Left(body,25)<BR>&quot;. Since that string doesn't exist in your &quot;body&quot; variable, no substitution takes place. You could fix that by removinf the quotes, but why do it in such a hard way (and even harder to read)? Have your tried:

<cfscript>
body = &quot;original text&quot;;
body1 = body & &quot;<BR>&quot;;

a440guy,
Thanks for the input. Your way would work if the image tag was the only text in the #body#. The image tag is the first part of the #body# variable. I am basically inserting the <BR> tag in the middle of the #body# variable. Your way would place it at the end of all the text.
