I have about 100 growers that upload there current plant stock to our system. Almost all of them use Ms Excel. I can't get them to change that. Plant sizes are in inches so... 42B&B becomes 42B&B and2+ cal. becomes 2+Cal. They need to update their inventory on an almost daily basis and I won't be able to physically come in and clean everything up before It becomes part of their catalogs. If their db's were just simple text files I would normally perform this sequence. find and replace with `` then find and delete it then find`` and replace with I know I've put this question to list before, but I just wanted to circulate a last call Does anyone know of a way to perform that function within web cat?
