Text in imageSource

[Jim Ault]

I put this in my message box and smmmoked it.... :-)

put "<img src=" & quote & "Star.png" & quote & "><img src=" & quote & \
 "Dash.png" & quote &  "><img src=" & quote & "Dash.png" & quote & \
"></p>" into item 1 of line 1 of tHTML
put "<img src=" & quote & "Star.png" & quote & "><img src=" & quote &\
 "Dash.png" & quote &  "><img src=" & quote & "Dash.png" & quote & \
"></p>" into item 2 of line 1 of tHTML
put "<img src=" & quote & "Star.png" & quote & "><img src=" & quote & \
 "Dash.png" & quote &  "><img src=" & quote & "Dash.png" & quote & \
"></p>" into item 3 of line 1 of tHTML

get replaceText( tHTML , "(?Ui)<img src.*>","A")
put tHTML && cr & it

---result ---  line 2 ------------
AAA</p>,AAA</p>,AAA</p>

so you may be able to adjust the format and the substitution to do what you
need.
