-- I have a string S. There is a character '>' in S. I want to insert a new string in between '>' and the character before '>'. What's the best way to do this?
-- I have a string S. There is a character ';' and '@' in S. I want to remove all character in between ';' (including this) and '@' (not including this). What's the best way to do this?

Hi Romel,
Does the first string S have more than one >'s in it? If so can you provide some sanitized examples of the original and updated versions?
Likewise, are there more than one ; or @ character in the second string? Can you also provide some sanitized examples of the original and updated versions for that scenario?

Romel_77740Example for 1st case: 12344384616;cic=0335@@645.444.44 Example for 2nd case: <34384616@66.106ddsdsd>- hoolioMaybe something like these?
set str1 "12344384616;cic=0335@@645.444.44"
scan $str1 and save everything that isn't a ; into a.
Save everything after ; up to the next @ into b
Save everything after the @ into c
scan $str1 {%[^;];%[^@]@%s} a b c
Append $a and $c
set str1_edited "$a$c"
Result: 12344384616@645.444.44
Replace all >'s with inserted_string>
string map {">" "inserted_string>"} "<34384616@66.106ddsdsd>"
Result: <34384616@66.106ddsdsdinserted_string>
