...n changes to Cs, but the Bs have also been changed, in this case to "2", instead of remaining as their original values. How do I get the Bs to stay the same? Second problems is similar; I need to change some of the Subject IDs. The required format is 3 numbers followed by 3 letters (999LLL). Some of the IDs have format 999LLL-LL, Thus I need to delete the -LL from the IDs. How do I generically specify "find 999LLL-LL and replace with 999LLL"?
