Hello Heather,

there is a simple way, try:

In[80]:=
expr=x+y+z/(x+y)+e^(x+y)+w*x+y
expr/.{(x+y)->s}
%/.{s->x}

It works here; the intermediate substitution "s" was made to see it at a
glance.

Best regards,

Matthias Bode

Betreff: [mg35670] Question about Replace


Hello All,

I have an expression: x+y+z/(x+y)+e^(x+y)+w*x+y.... I want to replace
any (x+y) term by x no matter how the expression looks like.  I tried
"/."command. However, it does not work properly. Is there any simple way
of doing this? Thanks.
