thanks for the reply monks. to explain you the scenario little bit more, i m making an application which converts a program written in an earlier version of test language to the new version of the language. so one of the few changes in the language is the function 'concat' which has been changed to '&'. so concat("this", "is good") will be changed to ("this" & "is good") and i m facing the exact problem mentioned by u monks. its hard to know the exact pattern. lets say that concat can take following patterns for example : concat(int2str(count,1),result) or concat(bit2str(count,'10'B),result) or concat(int2str(count,1),bit2str(count,'10'B)) do you think it is possible to find a way to solve my problem ?
