Hello EE forums,

I am trying to use low_replace to search and replace the first instance of a keyword match in a paragraph. If a match isn’t found, it looks for the next combination, and then the next.

A really badly formed pseudo-code example:

{exp:low_replace find="Red Widgets" replace="<a >Red Widgets</a>" multiple="no"}
  {if low_replace=null}
    {exp:low_replace find="Blue Widgets" replace="<a >Blue Widgets</a>" multiple="no"}
      {if low_replace=null}
        {exp:low_replace find="Green Widgets" replace="<a >Green Widgets</a>" multiple="no"}
        This line of text has Green Widgets

etc ...

The purpose is to find the first keyword match in a paragraph, and then to wrap it with a hyperlink to specific parts of the website. If it doesn’t find a match, the next attempt looks for another combination and then another. When all is said and done, the final paragraph should only have one link to a specific page on the website, or none.

Thank you for any codeshare ideas ...

Maybe there is another plugin other than low_replace that can be used?

Thank you forums,
