I have an array with the following elements: array[0] = "car" array[1] = "bike" array[2] = "motorcicle" ....... array[n] = ......... And I have a string with the following text. "Today I went to school by car. I saw............ " What I am trying to do is that everytime the program finds one of the words from the list in the text, it will place an astherisc * to replace that word. But I cannot figure out how to do this because it is an array not a regular expression. Rob
