[replaceChars] would be nice ...

It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 14017
interpreted = N
texte = I've been trying to create a new admin function that allows me to close the specific databases while leaving the others open.Apparently this is impossible, because the [name] tag inside the [listdatabases] context uses colons (:) for the folder separators in its path names. But the [closedatabase] tag only recognizes URL-style path names which use slashes.What would be *really useful* here would be a new character formatting context that replaces matching character strings with something else. I think it would look something like this:[replaceChars find=:&replaceWith=/]folder:subfolder:sub-subfolder:databasefile.db[/replacetext ]which would result in:folder/subfolder/sub-subfolder/databasefile.dbThen the URL-style-only path format of the [closedatabase] tag would no longer be a problem, and we would also have a great new text formatting tool to use for 'other' purposes!
