I would like to create an htm file (using Word) that will have some free
form text. However, in the free form text I would like to be able to embed
some fields like Name, Address, etc. I have tried to embed the fields
surrounded by different characters such as __Name__, @@Name@@, $$Name$$. the
problem that i am encountering is that when the htm page is displayed in IE
or in Word the text looks correct.. However, when inspecting the html/xml
code in notepad, the text looks like __<span class=SpellE>Name</span>__
therefore i cannot use a method like string.replace to replace the value of
__Name__.
I do need to leave the basic html code intact. i don't mind losing the <span
class...> and </span>tags.
is there a class that i can use that is able to perform this replace, i.e.
ignore the embedded xml (html) tags and allows me to work just with the
text?
thanks

Hi MR,

I don't know if this is the right forum for this particular question, but to
answer your question, Try a Regular expression Replace. (Regex Class in
..NET)
