I have found a php grep string which will do this but cannot get a working WebDNA equivalent:- php code : My best (non-working) attempt so far is : [grep search=([^\%09\%0A\%0D\%20-\%7F])&replace=%26#[url]\1[/url];]& é £ [/grep] But I can't seem to get the [url] code in the 'replace' to generate the hex code for the character. Any grep experts got any ideas ? - Tom ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
