Hi Glen,

look up offset in the Rev Dictionary.

If you are sure that there is no possibility of a space between the
number and [, then something like this should work:

  if (char (offset("[",tMyLine) - 1) of tMyLine is an integer) then
    --script to replace with "_"
  else
    --script to replace with empty
  end if

HTH
