regular expression help

[dandev]

I';m trying to implement a search on my site and I want to take in account plurals. I found the file in rails that handle this and since I have a real hard time with reg expressions i need help translating to cf

plural(/([m|l])ouse$/i, '\1ice')

This take "mouse" and returns "mice". How would this line be written in cf?

Thanks

here you go. it's quite similar. i'm guessing the /i in the rails version
means case-insensitive.

<cfset mouse = "mouse">

<cfset louse = "louse">

<cfset mice = reReplaceNoCase(mouse,"(m|l)ouse","\1ice","all")>

<cfset lice = reReplaceNoCase(louse,"(m|l)ouse","\1ice","all")>

<cfoutput>

#mice#<br>

#lice#

</cfoutput>
