string manipulations but the right way as it's pretty basic stuff. Apart
from taking substrings and concatenating them is there a way to remove characters
from a string.</span></font></p>

to remove the '.'</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>In a workspace I can type '3.669' replaceAll:
$. with: $ and then print it and it works provided there is nothing after the second
$. However in a method if I put a dot after the last $ as a terminator it takes
it as a character and wants another dot for the terminator. I tried it in a
block and still can't get away without putting a dot after the $. Is
there some way to express this or am I barking up the wrong tree again.</span></font></p>
