Is it possible to do multiple substitutions with regexp? For example, can you do something like: [regexp item1 item2 @substitute item3 item4] where item1 is replaced by item3, and item2 is replace by item4? I've been doing it by just stringing two regexp objects together, but wondered if there might be a more elegant solution. Thanks.

Thanks, jml. This is what I'm attempting to do. In both cases, I'm actually looking to replace special characters.
