Hi Chip, I I have seen this already.
1. You can try to use the * parameter at the end of replace string. 2. the main problem I think is that when you replace cr by crlf you insert characters in the text. I think 4D has tried to improve that in recent versions. It is much faster to do this in a blob from my experience : 1. convert text in blob 2. replace binary data (won't support diacritic, wildcard) 3. reconvert blob to text You can write a method to do this of course.
