Superb one, Ron !

My flawed attempt was due to an oversimplified interp <g
on the spec's part of preserving the data if there's an "&" inside ..

I tried yours first, and when it didn't return what I thought the OP wanted, I
decided to work on it.

But I've posted many non-solutions due to misinterpretations of the
specifications, also <sigh
