CString mystring = "0933221212"; mystring.Replace( "09", "012" ); // Afterall, I realized that even my comment lines have bugs When one cannot invent, one must at least improve (in bed).-My latest fortune cookie

thanks for the quick reply the problem with what you sent me, is that it will replace all occurrances of 09 with 012, i need it to replace only one occurance of 09 which will always be the first two characters thanks si

CString mystring = "0933221212"; mystring.Replace( "09", "012" ); CString strRightPart = "012" + (mystring.Right(mystring.GetLenght()-2)); ::AfxMessageBox(strRightPart); I think it's something like this. Best regards Jens

if myString.Right(2)=="09" { myString.Delete(0, 2); myString.Insert(0, "123"); } MS

myString.TrimLeft(_T("09")); myString.Insert(0, _T("123")); I am seeking... For what? Why did you ask me for what? I don't know!

If you want to replace the first two characters, then do this:

mystring = _T("012") + mystring.Mid(2);

Hope this helps,

Ryan
