I am using a regex to replace all the special characters, spaces from a string.

s1 = 'This is a sample code, please; look at page 49'

ReReplace(s1, "[,;\s]", ",", "ALL" )>

so basically..all words are seperated with commas now. However, I don't get number 49 as one of words, why is that so?

yeah, it's working fine here too...so that's kinda weird. any other code relevant to that snippet that might be chopping off your last list element?

you -could- just do a listChangeDelims(s1, ' ', ',')...

altho even if that works, it doesn't solve the mystery of the disappearing 49 using the regex...

Is there any better regex other then what I am using to replace all or any kinds of characters and spaces from a line of text..viz !,:;?"&@-.%+..and so on..

not sure what you're asking. are you expecting a comma after the 49? or are you looking to remove the from the string?
