Terry,

	I don't know of one off the top of my head, but here's something I
whipped
up that will replace one character at a time (i.e. it will replace all
instances of "q", but it won't replace "qa").

function replaceChar(theString, oldChar, newChar) {
	var i = 0;
	var j = theString.length;

	for(i=0; i < theString.length; i++) {
		if(theString.charAt(i) == oldChar) {
			theString = theString.substring(0,i) + newChar +
theString.substring(i+1,theString.length);
			if(i > j) { // loop-killer, just in case we mess
with the code
				break;
				}
			}
		}
	return theString;
	}

	(watch for line wrapping)

	For example, to replace all carriage returns with a string of zero
length,
you would say replaceChar(thisVariableFullOfStuff, "\n" ,""); let me know if
you have any problems with it.
