regular expression problem?

[zubair]

Hi I have a file which contains the following text

<cfset objNews.strNewsTickerLink = "index.cfm?pageid=83">

Now what i'd like to do is to scrape out the value of this variable i.e. 'index.cfm?pageid=83'. Now this variable can be different.... so basically whatever the value of the variable objNews.strNewsTickerLink is set to.. I'd like to get it out. Now I'm not that great with regular expressions... can anyone help me out?

Thx

Hi,

One way of handling that is to use this UDF,

http://cflib.org/udf/queryStringGetVar

But, you must be aware of the url variable that comes after "?" symbol in order to use the above udf. If it is dynamically generated you need to write your own regular expression.
