How to find and replace

Christian,
	I didn't totally understand your question, but Rev has several ways to 
match text.  RegEx, which is a tiny language imbedded into Rev, will 
match just about any pattern you want, including "da" without matching 
"das" or "Mandant" or even "Da" if you want.  Here's how in Rev-RegEx:

Put "The day is dappled with da and dads."

MatchText (MyText, "\<da\>")
--returns true because da is by itself.

ReplaceText (MyText, "\<da\>", "Ra")
--returns "The day is dappled with Ra and dads."

Try it in script, not the message box, which seems not to like RegEx.
