modifying strings that contains numbers

hi I have an variable of the following format $i = "buy 10/23/01 50 25.25 50 25.25" Now, I would like to multiply the 3 and 4th fields by a factor (say 2) so I get the following $i = "buy 10/23/01 100 50.50 50 25.25" How do I do this? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
