Would be grateful if someone could tell me why this is NOT working: put line QOUNT of fld "fSSS1" into PROCESST replaceText("unicodeText","unicodeT","t") put PROCESST into line QOUNT of fld "fSSS1" Oh, and, by the way, the URL for PERL reference here https://livecode.com/resources/api/#livecode_script/replacetext seems to be a dud.
