how overcome issue relating replaces. need replace " snn" "" & " sss" & "" in myhtml. replace " snn" " sss". not work in begin of line(newline, \n).

let's assume have next data

the man stands on floor man etc

in field 1. can replace occurrence of the or the or space & the or linefeed & the an using next syntax

on mouseup set word 1 -1 of replacetext(space & fld 1,"[\n ][tt]he "," ") end mouseup

note preceding space, removed 1 time again using word 1 -1.

unfortunately, syntax replaces linefeeds spaces. id on't know if want this. if not, i'd suggest using 2 lines, 1 space , 1 linefeed.

on mouseup set replacetext(space & fld 1,"[\n]([tt]he) ",cr & "an ") mytempvar set word 1 -1 of replacetext(mytempvar,"[ ]([tt]he) "," ") end mouseup

it seems little unusual me replace "the" "an" you're asking for.
