hi Toby Jussi has right, the wiki before or after me, has some missing points to newbie programers
also the http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/lang/replace page has broken links! around the gb.Case (also info are ambigous) we think gambas comunity must designate 2 or 3 mens to watchful the wiki and correct that problems any suggestions, and please can any correct thos misc in the wiki respect the string manipulation fuctions!?
