Hi guys,<br>I wasn't trying to do anything sophisticated. So browsing classes etc was beyond what I needed. I AM a NEWBIE.<br><br>Here's my solution:<br>b _ Dictionary new.<br>b at: 'A' put: 5.<br>b at: 'G' put: 6.<br>b at: 'C' put: 7.
<br>b at: 'T' put: 8.<br><br>myString _'ACGTACGT'.<br>Transcript show: myString; cr.<br>myString do: [:each | <br>Transcript show: (b at: each asString)].<br><br>Voila! in Transcript I get:<br>ACGTACGT<br>57685768<br><br>
Thanks though. 8-)<br>Tom Keller<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/30/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">David Shaffer</b> <<a href="mailto:cdshaffer@acm.org">cdshaffer@acm.org</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
