Regular Expression (regexp) to remove all HTML tags from a string

To remove all HTML tags from a string, you can use the following regular expression.

This could be used to stop HTML being injected into URL values. Or even just for creating plain text content from a HTML page.

<cfset myString = "<a href='/link.cfm'>Link to my page</a>">
<cfset myString = reReplaceNoCase(myString, "</?\w+(((\s|\n)+\w+((\s|\n)*=(\s|\n)*(?:#chr(34)#.*?#chr(34)#|'.*?'|[^'#chr(34)#>\s]+))?)+(\s|\n)*|(\s|\n)*)/?>", "", "All")>
<cfoutput>There should be no hyperlink: #myString#</cfoutput>

Ebay misspellings

We have recently release a new improved version of theWebguides.net which has now been expanded to provide misspelling searches for most of the countries that ebay are active in.

Our ebay misspelling tool can find you the cheapest listings on the site. Using state of the art tools, you can find all the auction misspellings that people have mis-spelt while they were adding them to ebay.

What this means is that you will more often than not find listings either no, or very few bids on them. Fewer or no bids can only mean one thing! Cheaper prices.

For example, try these:-

Enjoy!!

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 crashes when selecting text in code view

Another one of those funnies... Only recently Adobe dream weaver CS3 started crashing when I was selecting text in code view. For example, the code below, if I tried to select the whole CFIF block, then immediately a Vista error message appeared saying dreamweaver had crashed.

<cfif isdefined("attributes.endDate")>
 <cftry>
  <cfset attributes.startDate = dateformat(attributes.startDate, "dd mmm yy")>
  <cfcatch type="Any">
   <cfset tx = structDelete(attributes, "startDate")>
  </cfcatch>
 </cftry>
 <cftry>
  <cfset attributes.endDate = dateformat(attributes.endDate, "dd mmm yy")>
  <cfcatch type="Any">
   <cfset tx = structDelete(attributes, "endDate")>
  </cfcatch>
 </cftry>
</cfif>

 

Not ideal since the vast majority of developing code involves copying and pasting blocks of text.

After some investigation, I found the following thread which helped immensely:-

http://groups.google.com/group/macromedia.dreamweaver/browse_thread/thread/e493f48243a14b28/2fa3ea8a3c34ba5b

The crux of it was deleting the winfilecachexxxxx.dat file - Once doing this, it was plain sailing and hasn't crashed since.

On Windows Xp, the file is at:-

[drive]:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration

On Windows Vista, you can find it in:-

[drive]:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration
or accessible via windows explorer in
Desktop\[username]\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration

Comparison engine written for credit card website

We have just completed work for a credit card comparison website. We developed the back end tools which enables the webmaster to easily aggregate the best credit card offers from all the major UK card providers.

In addition, we wrote the tool which enables the visitors to compare credit cards and find the best card for them. They are presented with a simple to understand breakdown of the best cards available, and from there they are able to find out detailed information about any of the credit cards presented to them. There is also a rating system which is dynamically managed based on user feedback.

Visit the website now to see how it works:- http://www.airaid.co.uk
