Hi Jaimini, The search and replace function is a MapInfo Tool. If you click on Tools and Tool Manager you will see you can load "Search and Replace". You have to be careful with this as it will only replace the first instance of the character in each row. The program code can be modified quite easily to get round this and if you want a modified version I can send it to you.
