Depending on your line breaks and whatnot....
linebreak = chr(10); lines = refind(string, "(^|#linebreak#)\s*(#linebreak#|$)", 1); My syntax on refind may be off -- I can never keep it straight for some reason. --Ben Ian Skinner wrote: > What would a regex expression to find lines with any type and amount of white space characters but nothing else look like? > > > -------------- > Ian Skinner > Web Programmer > BloodSource > www.BloodSource.org > Sacramento, CA > > "C code.

Could we see how you're testing this?
-----Original Message----- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:ian.skinner@...] Sent: 11 August 2005 21:01 To: RegEx Subject: RE: Lines with only white space. Nope did not work. I've been trying variations of ^\s*$ but with no success. Interesting even a simple ^\s* did not match anything. Only thing I can get to work at all is \s*, but this matches any white space in any line and even across lines and I just want the line with all white space. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.

Not fair. My answer assumed you were using COLDFUSION. (And it works
in there, I just tested it.) I'll look at homesite/dreamweaver now.

Replace with a newline. That should kill the extra lines.
Ian Skinner wrote: > Since I'm using this in DW's Find and replace I converted your code to this "\n\s+\n". This is the closet yet, but I do not want to match the first new line I just want the blank line and this return the end of the previous line and the blank line. But if I remove the first \n, I start matching the end of every line, and I don't want that either, just the blank lines. > > > -------------- > Ian Skinner > Web Programmer > BloodSource > www.BloodSource.org > Sacramento, CA > > "C code.

I have the same problem with REFind
From livedocs REFind(reg_expression, string [, start ] [, returnsubexpressions ] ) (and comparatively, Find(substring, string [, start ])) Seems like every other string function takes the string parameter first.. Replace, ReRep, Left, Right, Mid, Encrypt, Decrypt, ListValueCount, RepeatString, ReplaceList, and of course all the functions that have NoCase companions). ListFind even takes the "string" to be searched as the first parameter, as does ValueList. But Find and Refind take the string to search for, first. How very... odd.

Er, not ValueList, but ListValueCount.
