Change "@" to a number, 1,2,3,4,5...

[simon_barc]

So for example from

“@the @chicken @crossed @the @road”

TO

“1the 2chicken 3crossed 4the 5road”

Thanks for your help

Maybe something like this?

Do we have a rash of school kids, all given the same (or a very similar) programming homework assignment?? :-)

[Ekopalypse]

Strange, isn’t it :-)

programming homework assignment

Do we need to start embedding base64 comments in our code in the forum?

I upvoted, but then I realized that Eko’s thing doesn’t decode when I tell it to? The text doesn’t change.

[Ekopalypse]

It does for me - don’t expect text. :-)

don’t expect text

I’d phrase that as “don’t expect words”; it still decodes to ASCII characters which have meaning in the order in which they are presented, which by most definitions is “text”.
