Stuart, can you give me an example of what you mean? Donovan/Chris, please note that the grep search param I tried (see below) behaves differently than BBedit's. I don't know if BBedit's grep complies with the webdna docs when it mentions- "[a] popular UNIX utility has been adapted to WebDNA.". I.e. is this grep behavior I found a bug or a feature? -Govinda On Oct 20, 2008, at 2:06 PM, Stuart Tremain wrote: > Grep the non numbers to a known character and then use middle to end > at that character. > > On 21/10/2008, at 6:57 AM, Govinda wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> quick [grep] Q: >> >> [grep search=([^0-9]*)([0-9]*)([^0-9]*)&replace=\2][myString][/grep] >> is finding ALL the numeric chars in [myString] and essentially >> concatenating them together. >> I just want ONLY the FIRST continuous run of numeric chars. >> >> suggestions? >> TIA >> >> -Govinda >> --------------------------------------------------------- >> Govinda
