How about

put fld 1 into tText
replace "ck" with "<font><b>ck</b></font>" in tText
replace "ch" with "<font><b>ch</b></font>" in tText
replace "oa" with "<font><u>ch</u></font>" in tText
replace "oo" with "<font><u>oo</u></font>" in tText
...
set the htmltext of fld 1 to tText


Best,

Mark

What would be the most efficient structure and syntax to achieve the following?:

A text field containing several paragraphs. I want to run through the field, finding and formatting certain strings, all occurrences of a list of certain letter combinations:

example, all occurrences of
"ck" = bold
"ch" = bold
"oa" = underline
"oo" = underline
 etc.

The repeat loops I have tried run slowly and there are too many unnecessary passes (it seems). I know there must be a more succinct, efficient statement that should work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark
