I guess I need to take a class or something. Angers me when I can't figure out something like this.... Nevertheless, I have a timely need to make this string: "<AccountNum>999999999</AccountNum>" to this: "<AccountNum></AccountNum>" NOTES: -- The string shown is part of a much larger string. -- The 9s are variable-length numeric characters.
