Thanks for the help.

There is nothing i= n the documentation about using the \ as an escape=C2=A0 or a [url] tag.
How was I supposed to know?


=C2= =A0I had:
[text]myVar=3DHello, Bob! Yo= u Rock![/text]
[grep search=3D!replace=3Dq&ignorec= ase=3DT][mayvar][/grep]
Result:=C2=A0Hello, Bob! You Rock!

Thanks again,
sfb
