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.
