Character Replacement

[Bill D Michael]

Looking for a way in QTP (or Quiz) to replace all occurances of a single
character in a field with another character - for example, the record might
contain "---- this is a test ----", and I want to update it to contain "
==== this is a test ====". Primarily because we have users entering
"illegal" characters into text fields on Quick screens that cause problems
much later, such as quotes, slashes, and @ signs.

The manual refers to a "substitution character", ^, but I believe this is
only for error messages and such and can't be used for what I want here. I
can replace a single occurrance using INDEX and the [] syntax, but since
there could be two or twenty, I'd have to run "n" requests to accomplish
the whole thing.

Bill
