replaceText

[Richmond Mathewson]

I don't think Runtime Revolution as such parses
words the way human beings do, it will replace
any string (or part thereof) with any other string.

For the sake of argument try this:

on mouseUp
  put "id=d2b516" into oldWord
  put "id=xyz59wk" into newWord
  if fld id 1004 contains "id=d2b516" then
    replace oldWord with newWord in fld id 1004
  end if
end mouseUp
