Hi Grant,So you're saying that with these new 3.x tools we can finally replace one word with another on the fly? Wow, this is great! :)Only one problem, I'm still not clear on how using the new [listwords] and [countwords] contexts is going to help me perform a simple text string replacement. Will you please post an example of the webdna code we can use to perform this task in version 3.x?Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net
