Okay, so "word" automatically assumes white space as delimiter. I can't skim out the punctuation, so can someone suggest how I do the following. (This example is closer my real life problem).
Within a bunch of text, I want to replace any string of pattern 00-000 (where 0 is any integer and the dash is a literal dash) with a string of <A HREF="#00-000">00-000</A> In other words, I am looking to bracket the pattern string with an HTML index tag that uses the same literal string as a named target. Short of doing a char-by-char crawl, how can I accomplish this search and replace? ManyTIA Mark Powell Production Manager VERITAS Education ---original post---- I have a string such as "now, that is a string!" But when I address word n of the string, I get "now," (when n = 1) and "string!" for (when n = 5). How can I point to a string and get only the nth word, without any contiguous punctuation getting in the way? --------------------- _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
