1 5 10 25 50

[Paul Gabel]

To those of you who so imaginatively tried to solve this problem as  
some sort of mathematical progression, here is the email that Mark  
Swindell sent to me. As I mentioned, I accidentally replied to the  
list instead of Mark personally.

Hi Paul,

Maybe you can help me with this ... I know it should be very simple,  
but:
In a variable lTheCoins I have the words "1 5 10 25 50." If I "get  
word 1 of this variable," it = 1. If I give the command ...

<replace it with empty in lTheCoins>

word 1 is replaced with empty, but so is character 1 of word 3 (10  
becomes 0 ... the remaining words in lTheCoins are now 5 0 25 50, but  
there is no zero coin). I only want to replace the whole word 'it,'  
not each instance of it [not every "1"]. What's the way to get the  
proper behavior?

Mark

Mark said he's since solved it, but I haven't seen his solution yet.  
Here's mine:


... but I'd love to see any improvements.
