scanning cfm file for href's 1

[MarcDePoe]

I need to replace all the hrefs in a file.
for example:

turn
<a href=&quot;something.com&quot;>
into
<a href=&quot;somethingelse.com&quot;>

no matter where the hrefs point, I need to point them all somewhere else.

Can anyone help?

i would do this in jscript ! is this fine for you ? if so, just tell me which browser you're targetting, because the code could slightly change

Another way to do it is to use ColdFusion Regular Expressions. Read the page via CFHTTP, store it in a variable and scan this variable for HREF's with a Regular expression. Once you've replaced all the links, present the page. <webguru>iqof188</webguru>

Yes, Regular Expressions work.

If this is &quot;maintenance&quot; work on your site, i suggest evaluating UltraEdit. The built in RE editor will recursively replace all your &quot;This.com/&quot; with &quot;that.com&quot; in seconds, then just upload the site : )
