Robert - what are you trying to do exactly? That might help in
figuring out how to best advise. My understanding of Satimage's
"change" command is that it requires string parameters. The first
thing you'll have to do is get whatever it is you want to manipulate
into string format. Right now your script is trying to operate on two
strings and a "bounds". The dictionary for Satimage indicates that
there is some flexibility about the third parameter, but I'm not sure
exactly how flexible it is.

Hi,
The script;
set w to window 2 -- a text window
set bounds of w to {0, 44, 588, 517} -- this line works
change {"^[[:space:]]+", "[[:space:]]+$"} into {"", ""} in w with
regexp
gives me the error"Can't make {"^[[:space:]]+",[[:space:]]+$"}into
type string"
What am I doing wrong?
What is the function of the colons?
What form would text take in the find area?
I would appreciate an example of replacing "this" with "that".
Tia,
