Hi,

I have a replace function <%= Replace(arData(0,i), "_", " ")%> that works
fine to replace the _ with a space, but I'd also like it to look for, and
replace one word with another in the same string (E,G replace the word
"Right" with "Wrong"). The code is located in a table that is displaying the
results of a database search.

I'm having problems with a) finding out if it's possible to do it this way,
and b) what the syntax should be. I've tried all manner of combinations, but
no luck. Any ideas?

Thanks,

David

<% = Replace(arData(0,i), "Right", "Wrong") %>

preferably do:

<% = Replace(arData(0,i), "Wrong", "Right") %>

<% = Replace(arData(0,i), "Right", "Wrong") %>

But how do I get this to ALSO change "_"," " in addition to the above?

Thanks

Greetings David:

The replace function replaces words as easy as characters. See example below. This will work in a table as easy as any other string.

<HTML>
<Body>
<%
dim TheWords
TheWords = "Now is the time to change words"
Response.write( "<li>" + TheWords )
TheWords = Replace( TheWords, "time", "age" )
Response.write( "<li>" + TheWords )
%>
</Body>
</HTML>

-rwg
This is what I think, not necessarily what is accurate!
