f[c] == (c+b)/.ru[c] == (c+b)/.c->x == x+b == b+x Bobby Treat -----Original Message----- From: Lawrence A. Walker Jr. [mailto:lwalker701 at earthlink.net] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg36791] [mg36774] Strange ReplaceAll behavior Hi, For the life of me I am not sure why the following is not working in my v. 4.2: ru[a]=a->x; f[x_]:=(a+b) /. ru[a]; Why do I get f[c] = b+x and not f[c] = b+c? What gives? Thanks, Lawrence -- Lawrence A. Walker Jr. http://www.kingshonor.com
