And let's not get started on building an expression with a script, like:

put "put thistime" & theCount & " into theCountVariable" into theCommand
do theCommand

I've also realised that looking for strings in a script is pretty complicated because of the many string delimiters that could be present - quotes, comma, open and close brackets, open and close square brackets, etc - so I'll go back to the Find/Replace for that.  I guess I could try using a regular expression but they seem so far removed from the English-like syntax of the rest of LC that I don't think I want to get involved with them!
