Thanks a lot to Kai and Christopher Stone.

Removing the spaces, would be my nExt aim.

That's what it does - but only in AppleScript. I imagine you really want to
do something similar in Tex-Edit Plus (although I'm not entirely sure what
your aim is).

Yes, that's it.

More details:
Open a Filemaker export tab-return file with TE+.
Search all the (french) phone numbers appearing as "xx xx xx xx".
Change them to "xxxxxxxx"
Re-import the file to FM.

Note:
It would be easy to make it in Filemaker, but I prefer to make it "externally".

Kai's and Christopher Stone's solutions are not able to do the work. I may have missed something.

This list is very useful.
Thanks again.
Bernard
