Hey guys,

Is it possible to remove a character from a variable? I Have a variable called _time . The data in it, is in the 2:45 format, and I need to remove the ':' so I can run some calculations and sorts on it and what not.

Any help would be much appreciated .

Check out the filter command in the dictionary.

I can think of several sillier ways to do it, like:
on mouseup
set the itemdel to ":"
put item 1 of yourData & item 2 of yourData into yourData
end mouseup

Thanks a lot folks!
