Jack, I don't know of a sure way to get all spaces on a single command line. Though this works cText = "Spaces Test" DO WHILE AT(SPACE(2), cText) > 0 cText = STRTRAN(cText, SPACE(2), SPACE(1)) ENDDO ?LEN(cText) This would probably be faster with large amounts of text cText = "Spaces Test" cLast = "-" cCurrent = "" cNew = "" FOR nSpaceLoop = 1 TO LEN(cText) cCurrent = SUBSTR(cText, nSpaceLoop, 1) IF cCurrent = SPACE(1) AND cLast = SPACE(1) ELSE cNew = cNew + cCurrent cLast = cCurrent ENDIF NEXT ?LEN(cNew) Yet, the REDUCE function is C and faster yet.
