<cf_highlight> issues

[8ginga8]

not sure if anyone can help me, but I would reall apriciate it if you could. I downloaded this custom tag from

http://www.cfdev.com

and it is not very long code. It seems to work fine except that it will only highlight the last word in the document, and not all instances of the word.

This is the code for the custom tag:

<cfparam name="attributes.words" default="test,is">
<cfparam name="attributes.delimeter" default=",">
<cfparam name="attributes.prefix" default="<b>">
<cfparam name="attributes.suffix" default="</b>">
<cfscript>
for (i=1;i LTE ListLen(attributes.words, attributes.delimeter);i=i+1) {
if (thistag.ExecutionMode IS "End") {
thisTag.GeneratedContent = ReReplaceNoCase(thisTag.GeneratedContent, "(.*)(#ListGetAt(attributes.words, i, attributes.delimeter)#)(.*)", "\1#attributes.prefix#\2#attributes.suffix#\3", "ALL");
}
}
</cfscript>

and this is the code on the page that has the tag on it:
<cfoutput>
<cfparam name="url.search" default="">
<cfset keywords = "#url.search#">
<cf_highlight words = "#keywords#">

<div class="heading">#get_text.heading#</div><BR>
#get_text.textarea#</cf_highlight></cfoutput>

With some modification.. This code from faq232-1167 should help you a lot. I used it on a few search engines that I've written and its nice stuff.

<cfset keyword = FORM.keyword>
<cfset oldResults = VARIABLES.results>
<cfset newResults = REReplaceNoCase(VARIABLES.oldResults, "(([^A-Za-z])(#Trim(VARIABLES.keyword)#)([^A-Za-z]))", "\2<b  style='background=color:yellow'>\3</b>\4", "ALL")>
<cfif Left(VARIABLES.newResults, Len(Trim(VARIABLES.keyword))) IS Trim(VARIABLES.keyword)>
    <cfset newResults = REReplaceNoCase(VARIABLES.newResults, "((#Trim(VARIABLES.keyword)#)([^A-Za-z]))", "<b style='background-color:yellow'>\2</b>\3", "ONE")>
</cfif>
