-- Don't know if this is the smartest way for a find and replace action, but here's how I worked around it . . .

set x to "0.25" -- string
set y to "4" -- string

if x contains "." then
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "."
set x to every text item of x as list
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ","
set x to x as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
end if
set z to x * y --> 1.0

But what if x is greater than one thousand, and is formatted something like "2,341.25"?

A great Idea! That's what we need--a great idea.
