Hi,

I think (or rather "guess", since my French is very bad) that the others have already mentioned that there is no 'change' command in either TextEdit or TextCommands. Not sure where you got that from!

This won't win any prizes, but should do the job...

tell application "TextEdit"

tell front document

set theText to text 1

set text 1 to my replaceTheText(theText, " cie ", " de ")

end tell

on replaceTheText(theText, theFromString, theToString)

tell application "TextCommands"

search theText for theFromString replacing with theToString

end tell

end replaceTheText

...bear in mind that it won't respect any text formatting though.

Hope that's of some help.
