This also works with multiple elements (instead of "m" you could replace "my", for instance). replace/all str "m" " " >>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/05 12:36 AM >>> >>>Hello All: >>>I want to search each element in a string. >>>I want to count occurances of some elements >>>and change other elements >>> >>>;example count every occurance of 'm' >>>; change every occurance of '+' to ' ' - Michael Jelinek
