Richard,
Lovely! If this is, indeed, what Glenn was looking for, I would suggest
one enhancement: If the goal is to remove a string at a certain point in
the record (inverse of "insert <n> after..." or "insert <n> before..."), I'd
code it as
... | change <n.m> /string/ // | ...
to avoid deleting other randomly-located occurrences of "string".
Marty
