How to find and replace

[Christian Langers]

Hi there,

thanks for the hints...

I'm with Rev 2.6. and I have used this (which works !)

put the clickText into tVar
put replaceText(fld 1,"\b"&tvar&"\b",underscores(length(tvar))) into  
fld 1

function underscores pCount
    repeat (pCount)+5
      put "_" after tString
    end repeat
    return tString
end underscores


Thanks to you all,


Christian
