I have an application that needs to modify the contents of a string. thru testing I used a distinct replace(string, out, in); call for each such character. in places where I wanted to delete the char, it was easy, replace(string, in,''); but... now that I have it all, there are 30 some odd chars to fiddle with, so I changed it over to replacelist(string, inchars, outchars)..
BUT,, it appears replacelist() cannot (selectively) REMOVE chars like replace() can. is that right? .. ie SOME chars in the input list should be removed, some replaced with different chars (or strings). I found that if the output list contains ,, for a particular entry in the input list, this entry is SKIPPED and the output list REDUCED in size.. if there is a SPACE char at least, then all is ok. OR do you need actual replaces near the front and deletes near the back?
