The ListBox Demo I have prepared will demonstrate Search and Replace in a text file (Who woulda thought you would/could use a listbox for that?).
I have tested it on as large as 2MB textfile (although it took over a minute to do 28000 line file).
Stay tuned....

Subject: [RBASE-L] - RBase65++Dos - Search and Replace in text files
G-Day all
Has anyone created a snippet that will do the following:
RBase Dos 6.5++
Basic purpose is to load an ascii based file (any text file) line by line into a table then, run a SRPL or ???? to update lines (acutally words) like replace the word tmdinv03 with tmdinv04 and then reconstitute the file with another name.
1. Prompt for a file name..
2. Load the file line by line
3. Change a specific text value to another in all instances
4. write the file back out with another name.
You probably guessed that I want to basically automate the rewrite of and APP file. I would like to do this for more than one word if possible..
I know I have at least two items I would like to replace.. that is where it says RUN soandso IN tmdinv03.apx to tmdinv04.apx and where it says CONNECT tmdinv03 to CONNECT tmdinv04.
Let's see what you got.
Jim
