The only problem would be if what adrive wanted was to print out the original string (e.g., FCLA, FCLXXX, etc.) if it contains the user-specified substring (e.g., FCL). The solution with substitution would destroy the original string so that what would be printed would just be the sought-after substring. Of course maybe that what was wanted...I couldn't tell from the original qustion. ack Albuquerque, NM	[reply]
