Authur -
Thanks for the feedback.
You wouldn't know this but, the other day I saw your method of using TIDs,
in a post to another thread -- something about changing 500 filenames to
lower case. At the time, I was thinking OOH, WOW! Authur! but I didn't shout
out to the list. It's a very fast handler and it was the first time I had
ever seen it.
In fact, I had every intention of asking you if I could incorporate it into
the script but, I wasn't at that point yet. The primary point of my original
question -- which you seem to have got -- is the problem with styled text. I
haven't found a way to get it all at once, retain style, and replace all at
once. If you weren't able to find a way to do it in your script, then I will
presume that there is no way other than character by character, or range by
range, or word by word, etc.
I will look through your script to see how I can apply it to text style
range and post the result but, I wanted to say that your script is really
nice as it is. It's not very slow, really, and it's kinda neat watching the
the characters be replaced.
Best regards,
