Acronym Regular Expression

basically an extremely advanced find and replace.

  • The Mission

    Hey guys, I am completely new to regular expressions and I barely know any JavaScript. So I have a mission for you, if you choose to accept.

    I need a script that can do the following.

    Search between two lines of code (I am writing asp)
    From
    <!--#include virtual="/_incs/header2_eng.asp"-->
    to
    <!--#include virtual="/_incs/footer2_eng.asp"-->

    And find 'NCE' and replace it with '<acronym title="Networks of Centres of Excellence">NCE</acronym>'
    But there are many cases that this NCE can show up for example
    ' NCE '
    'NCE, '
    'NCE; '
    'NCE. "
    ' NCE'....
    The list continues. And I need to have about 100 different Acronym's. So I basically need a basic template.
    My main concern about this is if searching 'NCE ' and the word is 'Once ' then it will do a replace. Which is not what I want. So I hear that regular expressions is the best way to do it.  

    Thanks in advanced.
