I need to pass the whole string into the function as i want to replace every character in the email address with its&# value so i need to be able to evaluate the back references to the values of the back references are passed into the function

For most symbols, just replace them with their &## counterpart: replacelist(str, "@,%", "&#asc('@')#,&#asc('%')#") If you need to replace &s you need to make sure to do so before any other symbols.
