Re: Re: translateFrom:to:table:

That works for lots of methods. But for some methods there are no decent comments or examples. This is what I get from "Senders of translateFrom:to:table:"
 translateWith: table
    "translate the characters in the string by the given table, in place"
    ^ self translateFrom: 1 to: self size table: table

I don't find see anything called "references".
I cannot find a single example of what a table arguments should look like. 

Here's a simple example of what I want to do:

myString := 'ACGTACGT'.
myFixedString := myString translateFrom: 1 to; (myString size) table: table.

Where table would be something like a hash: A => 5, G => 6, C => 7, T => 8.

in Perl, I would write: perl -pe 'tr/AGCT/5678/' <return> on the command line and then paste in the string and perl would return the translated string. 

Thanks for your help.

And there is a way to avoid stinkin' right-click: in any text, select the
text of a selector (including its arguments) and do cmd-m and cmd-n :) For
example, in a browser with the class definition template (Object subclass:
#NameOfSubclass ...) do select from subclass: to category: and see what I
mean.

Yes, one of the best ways to come to use to Smalltalk/Squeak.
