I’m trying to understand how to do a replace of a string that also contains html code (in ColdFusion).
The function must not look (or replace) for inside html tags.
Thank you.
Let me be more specific:
should not search inside the img and a tag
ColdFusion only deals with strings, it doesn’t know anything about “HTML”, it just sees “string data”. So thee’s nothing native in ColdFusion to help you.
I haven’t tried this, but you could perhaps use jsoup to convert the string into a usable DOM document, then you will be able to distinguish between tags and text.
