I use this instead:
  $text:=replace string($text;$char;"";*)  //that so magic little star…

But *don't use* 'Replace string' with versions older than v15 R3 where it's 
been re written, guaranteed wheel of death (if not crash). With those versions, 
a Position(...;*) loop to count $char is much better. Some code here:
