(comparison that says its OK if there is spaces in field. just ingnore them.)Since you didn't post any code for what you are trying to do, there is little anyone can do to help you. WebCat is perfectly capable of search for words, substrings, etc. irregardless of extraneous spaces. You need to spend some time with the docs, specifically the section on searching. The docs are not the best in the world, but they do contain all of the information you are looking for. Specifically look at Searching/Word Breaks.John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
