Removing Underscores from Strings

Post subject:  Removing Underscores from Strings
I'm having a slight problem with my loading system. I have several strings with multiple words, and when I load them from the file they have underscores instead of spaces. eg. "Sutton West" becomes "Sutton_West" Is there a way around this? Thanks. (I have a feeling that this will be a very obvious and simple answer)

The code as is:

Turing:
        open : data, "Data.txt", get
        get : data, pname1
        get : data, pname2
        get : data, gender
        get : data, birthday
        get : data, birthmon
        get : data, birthyr
        get : data, hometown : *
        get : data, country : *
        close : data


The last two variables are the ones causing the problem.

Mod Edit: Remember to use syntax tags! Thanks Smile

Iterate over the string, replacing every instance of the underscore character with the space character. Remember that you can read or set the value of a single character in a string by indexing it like an array:

Turing:

var c : char := myString ( 12 )

I don't quite get it. I see what you mean but don't see exactly how it would be done. Could you explain? Thanks. (Man, I feel stupid today)
