RE: Removing punctuation (not using arrays)

Bob,

 The downside to XLATE is that it's a one to one relationship.  So if you
wanted to pare repeating characters to one (i.e. 'XXXXYY' should become
'XY'), XLATE would ont do the trick.

 >>  And how is this different from a single-line XLATE opcode, except
that is handles two or more of the unwanted characters when they are
consecutive in the original string?

It isn't.  One of the earlier posts raised the issue of consecutive
"unwanted" - this deals with it.
