Hi!
Nadya, uaually I do this from another way - build a string the way tyhat it is represented correctly. In my filtering controls I have 2 methods. First is to gather comparison expression from all filtering controls to apply filter. Second - to gather the same, but in user-friendly form. This way you will not require to invent complex string processing, just build it by 2 ways - filtering control returns required string on request ;)
Above you can also replace "control" by "code fragment" that responsible for generating filter expression.
HTH.

As you understand, I return each criterion as a string lcCrit, so it might be "between(price, 100,1000000)" for another example.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs
It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
