To those of you who so imaginatively tried to solve this problem as some sort of mathematical progression, here is the email that Mark Swindell sent to me. As I mentioned, I accidentally replied to the list instead of Mark personally.

Hi Paul,

Maybe you can help me with this ... I know it should be very simple, but: In a variable lTheCoins I have the words "1 5 10 25 50." If I "get word 1 of this variable," it = 1. If I give the command ...

<replace it with empty in lTheCoins>

word 1 is replaced with empty, but so is character 1 of word 3 (10 becomes 0 ... the remaining words in lTheCoins are now 5 0 25 50, but there is no zero coin). I only want to replace the whole word 'it,' not each instance of it [not every "1"]. What's the way to get the proper behavior?

Mark

Mark said he's since solved it, but I haven't seen his solution yet. Here's mine:


... but I'd love to see any improvements.

My deepest apologies. I meant to send this tiny stack to list member Mark Swindell (who understood the point), but accidentally sent it to the whole list. I'll be more careful.

Soooo, what is the point? We're curious :)
