on deleteString(aString) --> string
		set foo to offset of aString in theString
		if foo  0 then
			set theString to beforeString(aString) & afterString(aString) as string
		end if
		return theString
	end deleteString

it should be

on deleteString(aString) --> string

set foo to offset of aString in theString

if foo ≠ 0 then

set theString to beforeString(aString) & afterString(aString) as string

end if

return theString

end deleteString

I discovered a hack to search and replace inside a string. It involves using text item delimiters to do the job.

I'd like to once again mention my SmartString class which does this and lots more, in a simple to use package:

Note that you may need to set your browser to MacRoman before copying and pasting the page in order to get all the extended characters (downloading it via the contextual menu from my main page http://www.seanet.com/~jonpugh/ generally works better). If you get compile errors, that's the reason.

And what, you ask, was the beginning of it all?

And it is this......

Existence that multiplied itself

For sheer delight of being

And plunged with numberless trillions of forms

So that it might

find

itself

innumerably
