Using URLEncodedFormat with REReplace

I'm trying to change instances of the following line:

URL: http://www.google.com/?s= test

to

URL: <a href="http://www.google.com/?s=%20test">http://www.google.com/?s= test</a>

note that the anchor url is url encoded

I've managed to get parse the URL part using a very simple regex:

<cfset getFacts.fact_details = REReplace(getFacts.fact_details,
"URL:[ ]*([^#chr(13)##chr(10)#]+)",
"URL: <a href='\1' target='_blank'>\1</a>", "ALL")><!--- URL to newline i开发者_运维百科nto link --->

which just grabs the contents after the "URL:" up until a newline

How can I incorporate URLEncodedFormat with this, or use all regex?

You will need to do this in separate steps, since you can't use function calls in a RegEx.

First, get the URL location using REFind. You already have the regex for that.

Now, use mid() to grab just the URL. Store this in a variable for manipulation. Remove the URL: part, and then perform your URLEncodedFormat() call. I'd store this in a separate var, so you can display the URL as originally entered. Use these two vars to create your replacement (link) string.

Now, you can create your result by using left() and right() to extract what comes before and after your URL and inserting the replacement string between them.

Kind of a PITA, but there it is.

Why use regex at all? There are nice list functions that are perfectly up to the job.

  <cfset FixedUrl  = FixUnencodedUrl(BrokenUrl)>

  <!--- prints: http://www.google.com/?s=%20test&f=%20foo%20&g=&g%2F=%2F --->

  <cfloop list="#UrlQuery#" index="part" delimiters="&">
    <cfset name  = ListFirst(part, "=")>
    <cfset value = ListRest(part, "=")>
    <!--- only encode if not already encoded --->
    <cfif name eq URLDecode(name)>
      <cfset name = URLEncodedFormat(name)>
    </cfif>
    <cfif value eq URLDecode(value)>
      <cfset value = URLEncodedFormat(value)>
    </cfif>
    <!--- build new, encoded query string --->
    <cfset NewQuery = ListAppend(NewQuery, "#name#=#value#", "&")>
  </cfloop>

  <cfreturn ListAppend(UrlPath, NewQuery, "?")>
</cffunction>
