I have faced that situation at several occasions and I was wondering if there would be a simpler way to do that.

I use STRTRAN() to look up for specific strings within a string. Then, I want to replace it with something else. For example, I might do this:
lcHtml=STRTRAN(lcHtml,'Michel','Michel Fournier')
But, it may well be that Michel would be found as MICHEL and with a mix a case characters. So, is there a way with STRTRAN() to handle that. What I am looking for is to have all kind of occurences of Michel to be replaced by Michel Fournier. Even if MICHEL is uppercase or other variations, I want it to be replaced Michel Fournier. Can STRTRAN() do it or do I have to build a custom function for that?
