Sorry, already answered question :)
---------8<------------------- It cannot be done inside STUFF() due to strictly defined Clipper compatible syntax. To optimize code which make <cVar> := STUFF( <cVar>, <nPos>, <nDel>, <cIns> ) it's necessary to detect that result of STUFF() function is assigned to the same variable as its 1-st parameter and replace above code by new funtcion which will operate on parameter passed by reference, i.e.: __STUFF( @<cVar>, <nPos>, <nDel>, <cIns> ) So it needs new function and compile time optimization. -------->8--------------- Maurilio.
