Character string converstion

Hello.

I have a problem with a web-enabled database containing company names and addresses. Whenever I try to display a company name containing a '&' from the database in a htp.formSubmit the '&' is displayed as an underscore.

To get around this problem I have thought about writing a function that replaces all '&' with the HTML ampersand entity (&). All I need now is some functions to read through a string and stuff like that.

However, I have some difficulty finding any reference to such functions in the supplied PL/SQL manuals.

If there is anybody out there who has had a similar problem I would be grateful for your help.

Regards,
