in thread Can we "grow" a string?

Of course you can, but maybe you should take a step back and try to describe what problem you're trying to solve instead. Most of these solutions will involve writing actual code though, so maybe you can show what code you've written so far and where you encounter problems.

    The boundaries will have been calculated in the script before expanding the "small" substring and i will know that I must go say, 3 letters on the right at most and 4 letters on the left at most... Everything else works fine in the code of citromatik.
