Hello,
Not quite sure how to accomplish this. I have a large text file that contains !! in various places. It also contains single !'s. I would like to look for just the single !'s. I didn't really want to get into the WScript regular expression thing ( for one, I wouldn't even know what the regular expression would look like ). Here is something along the lines of what I would like to do:

lnExcPts = occurs( '!', lcMyString )
for lnI = 1 to lnExcPts
     lnStart = at( '!', lcMyString, lnExcPts )
     *do some processing here
endfor

The problem is that this will find all occurences of !! as well. I only want the singles. I'm working on setting it up to read the character before and after the current one and checking for the extra !, but that just kinda seems cheesy to me. Got any idea's?
