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

["PeterG Clark" <PeterG.Clark@vac-acc.gc.ca>]

I think you can use the translate for that as well:

let $q = chr(39)
let $null = ''
let $lname = translate($lname,$q,$null)

I haven't tested it, but give it a shot :-)

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,
