i need some help in rereplace, where i am trying to replace required='yes" or required='no' with default='''

Can you share some code of what you have tried so far so we can see what you are trying to achieve. https://cfdocs.org/rereplace

<cfscript> var param = "required='yes'"; writeOutput(REReplace(param,"required(yes|no)","default=''")) </cfscript>

Just change your REReplace to this:

REReplace(param,"required='(yes|no)'","default=''");

notice the addition of the ‘=’ after required and the quotes around the (yes|no).

no difference, it is still showing me as required='yes' instead of default=''

Show your code?

here

<cfset x = '<cfparam name="holidayID" type="numeric" required="yes">'>
<cfoutput>
#reReplace(x, 'required="(yes|no)"', "default=''", "ALL")#
</cfoutput>

It doesn’t seem to like the ‘<cfparam…’ tag being in the string. Can I ask what you are trying to do? Replacing cfparam attributes seems like more of a job for your IDE.

i am enerating the cfparams with code, so end result is the cfparam and and after that i am just trying to replace the required with default

Are you generating the code and writing into a file? Why not amend the code that’s generating the cfparam with the required attribute?

amending it before it writes to the file

So, can’t you just change the cfparam anyway before writing to file?

that is what i am trying to use rereplace to change required o default but its not working

Seems to work OK to me: https://trycf.com/gist/9976b5860359151537ac74ee46d15aa0/lucee5?setupCodeGistId=816ce84fd991c2682df612dbaf1cad11&amp;theme=monokai

I was thinking along the same lines. Would be interested to know the ‘why?’ of what is being attempted.
