Answer 4

bdbodger, I edited my code. Noticed it said firststringfirststring = ... This has happened a couple of times - when I paste code it adds the second variable name. Have you seen this before or know why? Guess I just need to review it first.

Answer 5

Might just be what you highlighted when you copied I can't say I have noticed . Did you mean in this forums editor box I think I did see that once .

Yeah it was in this forum's editor box. Thanks for your post about .replace - I went the long way around - didn't think about replacing a string with an empty string (duh!). I wanted to say I really appreciate your posts on this forum, regardless of what smeone else might think. That comment was inappropriate and uncalled for, and you handled it in a very professional way. You help people out, and that is the whole point of this forum, regardless of how much experience they have. Being a noob myself, it's always nice to see different ways of doing things. Thank you for your time and effort.
