Hi,
I'm using ColdFusion's reReplace() function for regular expression pattern replacement.
I'd like to use a function call for the replacement string, and pass a matched backreference to it.
Something like this:
<cfset s = "STARTDATE_2010-05-07 00:05:00.0_ENDDATE" />
<cfset s = reReplace(s, "STARTDATE_([\s-.:0-9]*)_ENDDATE", dateAdd("h", 1, "\1")) />
But that fails because "The value of parameter 3, which is currently \1, must be a class java.util.Date value."
Is there any other way to achieve this?
Thanks, Stu
