Hi Rob

It does the following to the string passed into the strip subroutine:

Replaces with just one
Replaces new lines with
Replaces cariage returns with
Removes pipe (|) characters
Replaces double quotation marks with "
Replaces %95 with the tag

It then returns the modified string.

Hope this helps

Andy
