Hi ,

I want to replace multiple words with space like Dr or MD or Mrs or Ms in the string with space ..I think using ereplace we can replace one at a time but I want to replace multiple words with space..please suggest.

You have to use ereplace multiple times.

Thanks for your reply.

you mean to say I need to use that many stage varaible like below or is there any other tehchique

sv1=ereplace(sv, "Dr", "")
sv2=ereplace(sv, "Md", "")
sv3=erepace(sv,"Ms","")

And also ereplace is not working in 8.0 parallel stage i used the below syntax.

ereplace(sv, "Dr", "")

ereplace function is not avialable in Parallel jobs. Search for ereplace c++ function in the forum

Or you can use a basic tranformer to use ereplace.

It should be coming like this.

sv1=ereplace(sv, "Dr", "")
sv2=ereplace(sv1, "Md", "")
sv3=erepace(sv2,"Ms","")

As anbu said, you can find the equivalent of ereplace function for parallel edition, in one of the posts given by DSGuru.
