How to define a cfinclude page as a variable? 1

[jeff1]

I would like to loop through a cfincluded page and use a RemoveChars function, or other function, to remove all references to "font size" before a page is displayed to the user, the included page is a .htm page uploaded by a user.
Is this possible ?

Thank you for your help.

yes, let the name of the cfincluded page be a variable and eval it - then act with it just like it a "normal" cfinclude
good luck

I do not know the proper syntax for setting a include page as a variable, <cfset myvariablename= ?>

Hey Jeff,

You could also try reading the file in with CFFile into a variable called &quot;var1&quot;. You could then display it like this.

<cffile action=&quot;read&quot; file=&quot;c:\file1.htm&quot; variable=&quot;var1&quot;>

<cfoutput>#replace(var1,&quot;font size=&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;all&quot#</cfcoutput>

Hope this helps,
GJ

Thanks GunJack it works great. Is there anyway to use &quot;wildcard&quot; attributes to catch all the references like font size=&quot;*&quot; all my attemps have failed.

You could use ReReplace which uses a &quot;regular expression&quot; for matching strings to replace. Regular expressions are created with a special syntax which allows for advanced pattern matching much more sophisticated than dos &quot;*&quot; or &quot;?&quot; matches. Entire books have been written about regular expressions so they aren't trivial to master. I've never done anything with them so I can't tell you the syntax for what you would need. If you do a search on regular expressions, you should find some tutorials or info that will help you find the syntax you need.

Good luck,
GJ
