Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest, Vol 12, Issue 2394

Good question - I can think of one possibility - if the string is overloaded with multiple values - region, district, area (not good examples, I know), then there may be a desire to leave certain items in situ and swap others for some reason.

Which raises for me the thought that this is VERY specific to a local requirement and doesn't line up well for generalization. If the string were 'a1b2c3d', then by Gad's requirement, reversing alpha only would be 'd1c2b3a'.

Regards
Vern

The numbers needs to remain intact.
Given a 'ab123cd' string, a simple reverse will get me cd321ba
instead of dc123ba .
That is quite an unusual requirement. If I may ask, what do you need that for?
