Jon,

Can you provide an example?  Do you mean like if you have a UPC or part
number edit it with dashes/etc?

Part number 12345xx889 becomes 12345-xx889?  Or something like that?

So you want something like:

newString = %editw(partNumber:'     -     ');

(Yes, I know that doesn't work but it's to get a reference..lol)
