Currently there is no way to replace strings of type within fields with WebCat. This has been a much debated need/desire. I believe Ken's requests for it goes back years ;-( The concept of finding words like vulgar within a field and replacing it with BAD WORD is simply not possible. Of course you may also find a need to do this if you want certain words/phrases to be dynamically linked up to other database searches... products for example. If you are doing a discussion forum and have the need to replace out vulgarities or dynamically link to database calls (on certain text within a field), NetCloak Pro by Maxum does this very thing. It's called AutoLink and will substitute from a list of words or phrases with a replacement string including any html (database calls). Each forum can have it's own AutoLink list, and different lists could even be used depending on who is posting. To date I have not heard if this feature, such as expanding the convertchars to accept strings, will be provided into WebCat.Hope this helps -- Alexander J.
