If this does not work for you, let me know: f=(3*x*Exp[1+s+y])/(Exp[foo-bar]-Exp[llama+bait]) f/.((a__)*Exp[b__])/(Exp[c__]-Exp[d__])->(a*Exp[b-c])/(1-Exp[d-c]) On 5/16/05, AES <siegman at stanford.edu> wrote: > I have a number of symbolic results which emerge from a Mathematica > calculation in the form > > a Exp[b] > f = ---------------------------------- > Exp[c] - Exp[d] > > where a is "other stuff" and b, c and d are simple sums like b = b1 + b2 > + b3.
