Re: Question about replacing words
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1998
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 19698
interpreted = N
texte = >Oops, you don't mean BBEdit or Tex-Edit, do you?No, the point is that Ken is asking it to do a replace from a *list* of words. It's easy to replace all occurrences of a single string; it's darn near impossible to cleanly replace a list of strings with another list of strings, especially if one of the strings is a sub-string of the others. Now if you want me to drop ODBC, CyberCash, concurrency, TCP, beta testing, bug fixing, consulting, my wife, and tech support, I suppose I could find the time to solve this problem that suddenly seems more important than everything else.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
