No to be pedantic, but just to clarify: \s means "any whitespace character", which can be a space, a tab, a carriage return, a linefeed or a formfeed. However for this purpose, Alex is right - the two are effectively the same. The only time you'd want to choose one over the other is if you cared to deal with different kinds of whitespace in the same string. So: put "Ken" & linefeed & "Alex Frederic" & CR & "James" into tText put replaceText(tText," +",tab) --> Ken <linefeed> Alex <tab> Frederic <CR> James put replaceText(tText,"\s+",tab) --> Ken <tab> Alex <tab> Frederic <tab> James Hope this helps, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Web site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
