RE: [sqr-users] how to remove a single quote from a name

["Alexander, Steven" <Steven.Alexander@sanjoseca.gov>]

A single quote is '''' - the first quote to start the string, the second
quote to be a quote, the third quote to say you really mean it, and the
fourth quote to end the string.  So, if you wanted to have a literal value
in your program for O'Hara, you would type 'O''Hara'.

Subject: [sqr-users] how to remove a single quote from a name

Hi everyone,
I select a last name and before comparing it I remove all special
characters.
Thanks to all of your help, I can do that successfully.
The only character that I seem to struggle with removing is the single quote

I have the  name O'Hara
I want it to be OHara
I am using translate to remove all of the other oddities.
let $lname = translate(lower($lname),'абвзийксуцн','aaaceeenooi')

I have tried this:
        find ''' in $lname 0 #pos   My errors happen here.  I can't find the
single quote to get rid of it.
        if #pos > 0
         let #pso2 = #pos + 1
          let $newlname = substr(lname,0,#pos)||substr($lname,#pos2)
        end-if

Thanks again,
