I never made any mention of how many instances of a particular character it
would find. What I mean is that [[::space::]] is a class identifier. The
SPACE class includes several characters that are considered whitespace. So
searching/replacing for [[::space::]] will match more than just the " "
character.

I do not think so..

[[:space:]] will match one space character

[[:space:]]* will match *ANY* range of space characters

So,

foo = "this is something with some spaces"

ReReplace(foo, "[[:space:]]", "!")

Makes foo

"this!is something with some spaces"

First space character only....

The problem is that [[::space::]] is ANY of a range of "space" characters.
