as in something like this... put char 2 to (the number of chars of fld 1) of fld 1 into fld 2
Oddly enough THIS works: put fld "INN" into $INN delete char 1 of $INN put $INN into fld "OWT" BUT, BUT, BIG UNCOMFORTABLE BUT, this: put fld "INN" into $INN put fld "URTEXT" into $URTEXT repeat until $URTEXT is empty if $INN contains the first char of $URTEXT then put the first char of $URTEXT after $OUTTEXT delete the first char of $URTEXT else delete the first char of $URTEXT end if end repeat put $OUTTEXT into fld "fOUTTEXT" Maybe this is because one cannot use CONTAINS with a string variable, Dunno.
