Topic: Search and Replace VIC with spaces but not VICTOR (1 of 2), Read 9 times Conf: Search and Replace From: Jock Blair Date: Thursday, October 02, 2008 08:51 PM Hi All, I'm sure this is just a brain fade some where. I want to search and replace "VIC" in a block of text I have the code to do this but it replaces VIC in VICTOR which I do not what to do. So "VIC" will become " " but I want to leave "VICTOR". Hope this makes sense. Regards, Jock.

You can try to use word separators as delimiters like "|iVIC|i" There are several possibilities to use delimiters during a search/replace (|i, |s, |x, ...) Have a look at the online help "Search and Replace" - "Complete list of Pattern Matching codes" Christian
