instr Problem

[Lloyd Plantholt]

I am trying to reformat a list of Email Addresses.
There is a "-" between the first part of the data,
where I am having the problem is getting the second half of the data
to prinnt next to the reformated first part.
Example: Base Data [email protected]
Want to create [johnjones][email protected]
I can get the first part but sor some stupid reason I can't
get the second part to print.
ANY help would be appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Lloyd Plantholt

You could use something like this

i = INSTR(BaseData$,"-")
PRINT "[";LEFT$(BaseData$,i-1);"]";MID$(BaseData$,i)

Try this variation:

A$ = "[" + A$
REPLACE "[email protected]" WITH "][email protected]" IN A$
