Ouch! Don't need to go through all of that effort. FileMaker's calculation engine cannot handle formatting at all. With that in mind, all you need to do is use a Set Field script step (not AppleScript) to set the field to itself (e.g., Set Field ["thisField"]=thisField. If you have a bunch of records to fix then use the replace function instead.
