Replace first * with a space in a description
We have a number of items that we have in our inventory that are overstocked.
We want to highlight them by removing the spaces and replacing them asteriks. Now we want to replace the first * that is in that description with a space instead.The first asterik may appear as the 3rd charactor or up to the 12th charactor in the product description. Is there a formula there that I can use. as an example; Bubble*Gum*Grape*Flavor*****12*pack (as it is now) Bubble Gum*Grape*Flavor*****12*pack (the way I would like it to read) -- Thanks in advance, inthestands |

Very good Dave.......are you a "Zipper Club" member? Usually the only ones
who know what that means are the Med Students and the ones who have "been there".

Replace first * with a space in a description
I used to work with a couple of young guys (in their 40's when they had their
surgeries) that used to talk about cabbage stuff. Both are still doing well after 5-10 years. CLR wrote: Very good Dave.......are you a "Zipper Club" member?
