RE: Witango-Talk: @REPLACE

[Ben Johansen]

Well, I has seen issues where a space was encoded as a hard-space (255) and not (32). So you looke at it in debug and you are scratching your head. “Hi There” doesn’t match “Hi There” It kind depends on what wrote the file in the first place Like coping and pasting from a webpage can have some unexpected pitfalls   I have use @Replace a lot and found that it work well, if there is an issue, it needs to get reported back to With. I don’t have one of your files so it is hard to answer this question Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com Authorized Witango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WitangoGoodies.htm Authorized MDaemon Mail Server Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/AltN.htm -----Original Message----- From: Roland Dumas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 3:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: @REPLACE   never mind. I gave up on @replace and found another way. It was not reliable when strings are in variables. worked sometimes and not others.

I want to do some string editing on it. <@REPLACE STR=@@request$mystring FINDSTR='This string' REPLACESTR='That string'> works just fine, but when I use a variable in the FINSTR argument, it does nothing <@REPLACE STR=@@request$mystring FINDSTR=@@request$tidbit REPLACESTR='new string'> doesn't work Yes, the string I'm looking for exists and is a part of the STR. Are variables disallowed? ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf
