The code I posted is not accurate.
For one thing it should have been
put 71 into i
because the return will make the
72 char in the line.
Another problem is it does not end
with the last line being 72 chars or
less. Anyway this is a start to the fix.

Instead of my goofy repeat command
your replace can be modified to some
thing like the code below.
command replace_maybe @rString
repeat with i = 58 to length( rString ) step 58
put return after char i of rString
end repeat
end replace_maybe
But the problem is similar to what
Hi Dick,
I found the char was getting off by 1 each line
because of the EOL returns. Here is a regex
to strip the EOL returns.
put replacetext(theData,[\0\cM\r\f\n],) into theData
and then here is some code to put the EOL returns back.
put theData into tString
--put fld id 1022
Assuming tBigList contains your data and it is a tab separated list.
set the itemDelimiter to tab
repeat for each item tSearchThis in tBigList
if (char 3 of tSearchThis = D) then
put + into char 3 of tSearchThis
end if
put tSearchThis tab after tNewList
end repeat
--remove the trailing tab
Thanks, Kay!
The problem is there are no delimiters. It
is a string of only chars A to F and there
are no spaces etc.

If is use a repeat for each char and the variable
as a counter that resets every three times then
I only need to make one pass through to make
the changes. But there might be a

Hi, John.
Here's a way that works in under a millisecond on my iMac, and a way to test
its speed.
command replace_maybe @rString
repeat with i = 3 to length( rString ) step 3

Hi Dick,
That is really nice! Thank you.
It works great.
