I meant that you specify a delimiter other than new-line.

Since you use two different delimiters ("-" and "/"), it seems to me that you better use the AT() function, as recommended in the other replies you got.
delete_from = at(...)
delete_to = at(...)
new_word = left(oldword,...) + substr(oldword,...)
I leave the dirty work, of filling in the exact parameters, to you.
Hilmar.
