Who else but or except....

[thru]

Hi,

"Who else but you would do such a thing"?
Can we use "except" instead of 'but' here like
"Who else except you would do such a thing?"
Thank you very much.

You could, but it sounds better to me with 'but'.

Hi,

Can 'except' and 'but' be used this way like the sentences below.

1. Who else would do such a thing but you?
2. Who else would do such a thing except you?
Are these correct?

Thank you very much

Yes
