I can't believe that
(a) I wrote this
(b) I didn't spot it
My excuse is I tested it on the Mac, and then typed the email on the PC,
so I didn't copy/paste it, plus I've been doing too much Python and not
enough Rev lately :-) - it should be
put replacetext(tData, "."&BS, "") into tNewData
i.e. & not +
replace it by empty string
store the result somewhere
