before continuing.>[ConvertChars][fieldName][/ConvertChars] will do what you want. Hahaha!Good try, but convertchars will *NOT* do this. Convertchars only works on ONE CHARACTER AT A TIME -- it cannot find two or more characters and replace them.I've been asking for a simple string replacement feature since the first beta of 2.x. But apparently it's no closer to being implemented now than it was a year and a half ago. Nearly all other database programs have this straightforward text replacement capability, but webcat still does not.A long time ago, PCS found a way to make [boldwords] put tags around a multi-character match string, so I see no reason why they cannot use a similar technique to replace one match string with a different string ...Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net
