Other people may already know this, but I just discovered that you can do something like:
put "12.34.56.78" into p replace "." with empty in char 4 to -1 of p and sure enough, you get "12.345678" I did not know that the replace command can work on a chunk within a variable. The documentation doesn't reflect this. It only takes small things to make me happy. :-) -- Peter Peter M.
