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]HTHJohn-- John PeacockDirector of Information Research and TechnologyRowman & Littlefield Publishing Group4501 Forbes BoulevardSuite HLanham, MD 20706301-459-3366 x.5010fax 301-429-5748-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
