Subject: Re: Replacing a character/word

Thanks for all the help... For what it's worth - I found this basic stuff on
apples site:

http://www.apple.com/applescript/guidebook/sbrt/pgs/sbrt.07.htm



Replacing Characters in a String

The following sub-routine can be used to replace specific characters in a
string. The sub-routine has three passed parameters:

1) the text to alter, 2) to text to search for, 3) the replacement text
set the message_text to ,
"On Tuesday I told you to have the report ready by next Tuesday."
set the message_text to replace_chars(message_text, "Tuesday", "Friday")
--> Returns: "On Friday I told you to have the report ready by next Friday."

on replace_chars(this_text, search_string, replacement_string)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the search_string
set the item_list to every text item of this_text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the replacement_string
set this_text to the item_list as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
return this_text
end replace_chars
