texte = I had someone on one of our hosted servers reported that he had to use 2 statements to get this to work. [grep search=26&replace=&][grep search=%&replace=] This method could be problematic if your input has numeric values, but knowing the problem is 3/4's the battle. I think it has to do with how webdna is seeing the %26, it may see it as and actual & symbol and therefore skip to replace nothing, reading it more literally like this: [grep search=&&replace=&]. I could be wrong but not likely ;) It would be better, if webdna worked with a " or ' and found the contents within as opposed to no starting/stopping point. ie [grep search="%26"&replace="&"] all quotes within quotes would have to be escaped ie \" is to search for a quote.
