Simplifying a repetitive vbs script
in [VbScript]

From: Larry on 24 Jun 2010 13:52 But, using the syntax you gave me, sText = Replace(sText, Chr(147),Chr(34)) I've been trying to do something else, and can't get it. When I copy multiple paragraphs, I want to change the paragraph break between paragraphs (as well as the end of last paragraph) to the paragraph break plus html tag <p>, like this: So I want to change this: Gen. McChrystal resigned today. Pres. Obama accepted his resignation. to this: Gen. McChrystal resigned today.<p> Pres. Obama accepted his resignation.<p>

It doesn't have to be a single character. You'll have to check what you're getting in between pragraphs. If it's vbCrLf & vbCrLf you can use something like: s = Replace(s, vbCrLf & vbCrLf, vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "<P>") I leave a number of scripts on my desktop for that sort of thing. For instance, I've got one that converts a DOC to plain text, one that makes sure a text file is ANSI, and one that fixes returns in Unix file downloads or other file types that don't use vbCrLf for returns.

Most HTML tags have a closing tag, except things like <BR> that don't cover any defined area. It sounds like you need an HTML reference. :)
