my first response was a bit terse...
If you need to retain source text length (and relative position of the
shorter 'seg' texts)
$Replacement:=char(256)*7
$New_Text:=Replace string($source;"Segment";$Replacement)
$Loc:=0
Repeat
$Loc:=position("Seg";$New_Text;$Loc+1)
if ($Loc>0)
do whatever need to be done
end if
until ($Loc = 0)
IF the above action modified the text, and you then need to replace the
the word 'segment' back into the text
$Final_Text:=replace string($New_Text;$Replacement;"Segment")
