The first example loops thru all characters. So, if I am passing a 17k string, for example, that would mean it would process in the loop 17000 times. I like the second example as it uses a position to start on the next occurence. I will adjust for that one. I use StringBuilder on a lot of places. It is just that this one hasn't been optimized yet. I will do that now. Thanks
