A regular expression may include \b to match at a word boundary, even 
at the start or end of a string.  Perhaps you can build up a regular 
expression and use replaceText().  (A "word" is a sequence of ASCII 
underscore, letter or digit that is bound by non-word characters or 
string boundary.)

The replaceText() function is improved for speed in Revolution 2.6, I 
understand.
