Hi MRAB, Sorry, I simply do not understand the intention of your statement. If .replace() does not do what I want to do: to replace all ' í ' with 'i' in any form . Could you advise me other means to do it?
I am still a learner, so I am not knowledgeable. But, I presume, this sort of needs--to replace parts of string, not an entire string--should be common. So, I would presume, there must be some popular way to do it. If you know, I would appreciate it if you could advise me. Thanks.
