Hi bostonboi,

Two ways:
1. An ordinary Find/Replace, where
Find = WEEK^#
Replace = ^&
2. A wildcard Find/Replace, where
Find = WEEK[0-9]{1,2}
Replace = ^&
The processing difference is that the wildcard version finds WEEK followed by 1 or 2 digits and you can change its maximum number of digits by changing the '2'.
