In cases like this, often there is no problem, and OP here obviously needs no help if it were. It is simply an invitation to throw all possible (programming) options into answers. That is done much better elsewhere. | |

@JacobVlijm But you have to understand, not everyone is a developer. Everyone starts off somewhere. In some cases even, system administrators usually have no idea how to code (especially ones coming from a Windows background - I'm not bashing Windows or anything, but unfortunately this was the case with quite a few sysadmins I've met) . What I'm trying to say, what seems to be an easy/dumb issue for you, can be a hardcore issue for others. In the case of replacing the dots, I can understand how someone can have issues with such a case, specially since . in regex means any character.
