Merci pour ton conseil. Ça marche à merveille ---- mais pas tout à fait.

Tack för ditt förslag. Det fungerar nästan utmärkt.

Thanks for the suggestion. It works superbly --- with only one small 
problem. My third language is Swedish and I haven't yet found the 
Scandinavian "å" --- "a-circle", which, in older texts, in sometimes 
printed as a double "aa".
