texte = Thank you John!If I may, one more.... would it be better to use grep to change an accented charactor to the non-accented one or just use a convertchars db?What I am doing is taking nicknames that are in my database and 'cleaning' them so that in the near future I can use the nickname as part of the web url.right now members profiles are reached by ../members/details.html?recordid=646464 I want to change this to be ../members/nickname/So the leading and trailing spaces some hed entered in the db are now being stripped and chars other than a-z and 0-1 and - _ . are being converted to _. Which means the accented chars get converted to _ which is not nice :)ThanksDaleOn Monday, November 11, 2002, at 11:08 PM, John Peacock wrote:> dale's stuff wrote:>>> hi,>>>> Reading past messages I see an example John P. gave for stripping spaces>> from the end of a string using - [grep search= *$&replace=][string][/grep]>> where the $ denotes the line end charactor.
