Hey all,
Well, I'm new to the mailing list so hi! Anyways, I've perused these messages

+ return;
} else if ((total_len = ((strlen(t) - strlen(s)) + strlen(*d->str))) <= d-
>max_str) {
if ((replaced = replace_str(d->str, s, t, rep_all, d->max_str)) > 0) {
write_to_output(d, "Replaced %d occurance%sof '%s' with '%s'.\r\n",
replaced, ((replaced != 1) ? "s " : " "), s, t);
} else if (replaced == 0) {
