RE: RegEx question: Multiple replaces in one statement
Replace just does a straight string literal matching, REReplace dose regex, which requires a little more processing to go with the increased power of matching patterns not just string literals.. -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.

RE: RegEx question: Multiple replaces in one statement
Here's how I would do it: You're still calling replace twice, but it's only one line of code. And Barney's right...don't use REReplace if you don't need it, it's extra overhead.

Nope, but you don't REreplace at all, a simple replace will do the trick just as well, and with less overhead. You could even use replaceList, but I'd not recommend that, as it has some weird quirks. cheers, barneyb On 7/29/05, B G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is it possible to replace two different items in a string? > > I have a table holding brand names.
