Weird Problem with replaceText

[David Burgun]

I've got it to work just by assigning the names to variables and then 
using the variables in the replaceText function., as in:

local myTemp1
local myTemp2
local myString

put the filename of this stack into myTemp1
put the short name of this stack into myTemp2
put replaceText(myTemp1, myTemp2,"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx") into myString

This works fine. I just wanted a one liner to get the name of a Stack 
other that the current stack in the current Folder. Something like 
this:

start using replaceText(the filename of this stack, the short name of 
this stack,"xxxxxxx")

Would be good. It's just some linkage I need in a lot of different 
Scripts and I want to make

If there is a better way, I'd bet happy to do it that way!

All the Best
Dave
