(test with a string that contains many words separated by = spaces.)

On my wish list for webdna is = that [grep] behaves as do other commonly-in-use grep = engines.

Hi = Stuart

Thanks for replying..
I was just trying that as you = were writing your post.. but it is the oddest thing..  that even = this (*instead of* the grep)  is swapping out all space characters = as well as plus characters:


[table = name=3DplusCharConverter&fields=3Dfrom,to][/table]
[Append = table=3DplusCharConverter]from=3D+&to=3D~hackinPlusChar~[/Append]
<= br>= [ConvertChars table=3DplusCharConverter]
= [testString]
[/ConvertChars]

Can you = show me code that is working for you to swap out ONLY literal "+" = chars?
