Function to get Page Title from a URL
I wrote a simple function today that grabs a url, and parses out the title of the page from the url:
<cffunction name="getPageTitle" returntype="string" output="false">
<cfargument name="pageurl" type="string" required="true">
<cfhttp method="get" redirect="true" url="#arguments.pageurl#" throwonerror="true"></cfhttp>
<cfreturn ReReplace(cfhttp.fileContent, ".*<title>([^<>]*)</title>.*", "\1")>
</cffunction>
<cfoutput>#getPageTitle("http://www.macromedia.com/")#</cfoutput>

Hi there...
Copied and pasted this code block.
Have updated it to now return a complete anchor with href and title attributes.
Works like a charm.
Very inventive thinking. Will definitely come in handy at some point.
Cheers

Thanks for sharing this. I wanted to do the same thing today, but I'm not so great with the regular expressions.

Not secret that that that we search for, whereas you will not always find on the first page of search engine. But in other, although it rarely or in no way you use, this in sight. Therefore you will focus attention on http://www.iknowall.com. It searches for simultaneously in three largest bases of peace and issues results at will - on one page or on the different. Parsit'. is probable, also possible simultaneously all.
