>>Hi everyone,
>>
>>I have this problem: my application returns a string which is form of where condition, e.g.
>>
>>"SiteMstr.ccode='01' and inslist(TranMstr.Lender,code1, code2) and etc."
>>
>>We're going to implement Data Warehouse algorithm, and therefore, I want to exclude all references to Table aliases from this string. The tables are limited to just three (may be four):
>>SiteMstr
>>TranMstr
>>PropMstr
>>
>>My problem is that I don't know, how did I spell it, e.g. it could be:
>>Sitemstr
>>SITEMSTR
>>SiteMStr
>>etc.
>>
>>Of course, since it's my application, I can go through the form code, and use just one name convention everywhere, like "SiteMstr", but I'd like to know, perhaps there is more elegant solution.
>>
>>I guess, RegExp should help me here, but I don't know, how to use it in this case.

oRegExp = CREATEOBJ('VBScript.RegExp')
oRegExp.Global = .t.                 && translate all occurances
oRegExp.IgnoreCase = .t.             && case insensitive
oRegExp.Pattern = '\b\w{4}MSTR\.(.)' && word boundary, followed by 4 word chars
                                     && followed by MSTR., followed by any char
                                     && other than a newline, remembered as $1
cTranslate = oRegExp.Replace("SiteMstr.ccode='01' and inslist(TranMstr.Lender,code1, code2) and etc.",'$1')
? cTranslate

>>Thanks a lot in advance.

>What does case differ ? IOW how would you use it ? In something like atc() or find&replace ?
>In a string operation you could combine atc() and stuff().
