Acronym Regular Expressionbasically an extremely advanced find and replace. http://regexblogs.com/blogs/acronym_regular_expression/atom.aspxCommunity Server2009-12-03T13:45:00ZThe Missionhttp://regexblogs.com/blogs/acronym_regular_expression/archive/2009/12/03/The-Mission.aspx2009-12-03T18:45:00Z2009-12-03T18:45:00Z<p>Hey guys, I am completely new to regular expressions and I barely know any JavaScript. So I have a mission for you, if you choose to accept. </p><p>I need a script that can do the following.</p><p>Search between two lines of code (I am writing asp)<br />From<br /><!--#include virtual="/_incs/header2_eng.asp"--><br />to<br /><!--#include virtual="/_incs/footer2_eng.asp"--></p><p>And find 'NCE' and replace it with '<acronym title="Networks of Centres of Excellence">NCE</acronym>'<br />But there are many cases that this NCE can show up for example<br />' NCE '<br />'NCE, '<br />'NCE; '<br />'NCE. "<br />' NCE'....<br />The list continues. And I need to have about 100 different Acronym's. So I basically need a basic template.<br />My main concern about this is if searching 'NCE ' and the word is 'Once ' then it will do a replace. Which is not what I want. So I hear that regular expressions is the best way to do it. </p><p>Thanks in advanced.</p>
