So try this:[grep search=escapecodehere&replace=somevalue][searchfield][/grep]To see that escape code your server passes use get for the method of your form and look in the resulting url.Hope this helps.Sincerely Nitai Aventaggiato CEO-- Tools to energize your business Content Management & eBusiness SystemsComputerOil GmbH http://computeroil.com/ Hauptstrasse 12 info@computeroil.com 8252 Schlatt/Switzerland Tel: +41 (0)52 654 15 55 Fax: +41 (0)52 654 15 59 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
