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
