Thanks. > A) Why are you using [search] and [replacefounditems] when your [search] is for all records. The only reason to use [replacefounditems] is when you are only hitting some records in the database. B) Why are you adding [commitdatabase] in the middle of your [search] loop? This will just make sure that the search/replace takes _much_ longer. A [replace] always does an implied [exclusivelock] at the beginning and an implied [commitdatabase] at the end. C) Always use [url] D) No, really, always use [url]!!! This should do what you want: [replace db=tabed.db&geskudatarq=0]comments=[grep search=
&replace=[url]%0A[/url]][comments][/grep][/replace] HTH John -- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4501 Forbes Boulevard Suite H Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5748 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
