Re: To replace characters in a string

Hi Noel,
Use stringtocharacter:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/stringtocharacter.shtml
grab the characters you want, then use charactertostring:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/charactertostring.shtml
to create the new filename(s)...
