That will potentially add a lot of extra spaces, because it'll place two for each line break on windows (one for each 13 and 10). It will handle multiple sequential line breaks properly (multiple spaces for multiple breaks), even though the count may be doubled. This RE will only add a single space, including for multiple line breaks, which may or may not be desireable: rereplace(string,"[#chr(13)##chr(10)#]+"," ","ALL") The only difference is the plus right ^ there. And no, I didn't magically plan out the placement of that caret to be on at the same position as the plus, it was sheer dumb luck. barneyb --- Barney Boisvert, Senior Development Engineer AudienceCentral [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice : 360.756.8080 x12 fax : 360.647.5351 www.audiencecentral.com > -----Original Message----- > From: S.
