Please note the difference in programming languages between a command
and a function syntax.
Command
replace findWords with newWords in fld "fSTUFF"
--the original has been changed
Function
put replaceText(field "Stats",return,comma) into newTextBlock
--the original remains unchanged
--the new container has the modified version
put replaceText(field "Stats",return,comma) into field "Stats"
--the original has been changed
put replaceText(field "Stats",return,comma) into field "Stats"
--the original has all returns replaced by commas
Hope this helps

Funnily enough I've nev r used this before . . .
Tried your recipe and duplicated your error & more importantly:
I know why . . .
If you look in the Documentation under replaceText it shows this:
replaceText(field "Stats",return,comma)
while your
replacetext(fld id 1004, findWords, replaceWords, newWords)
has got more comma delimited items than the Doc example
BLAST; still doesn't work . . .
Although THIS DOES:
on mouseUp
put "Hello world" into fld id 1004 --you seem to have forgotten
this bit :)
put "Hello world" into findWords
--put "Hello world" into replaceWords what is this for ????????
put "Another Day" into newWords
if fld id 1004 contains findWords then
replace findWords with newWords in fld "fSTUFF"
end if
end mouseUp
so, frankly, I wouldn't lose any sleep over replaceText,
although it does seem DUD.

The Rev dictionary shows the following two forms for replaceText,
replacetext("malformed","mal","well") -- returns "wellformed"
replacetext(field "Stats",return,comma) -- makes comma-delimited
Let's say I want to replace the text "Hello world" in fld id 1004
with "Another Day"
I put "Hello world" into findWords
I put "Hello world" into replaceWords
I put "Another Day" into newWords
then I use the line below,
replacetext(fld id 1004, findWords, replaceWords, newWords)
I get an error. One thing that is confusing is I am trying to use
the 1st form of
replaceText which is,
replacetext("malformed","mal","well")
but this form does not designate the field the text to be replaced
is in so
I added it like it is shown in the 2nd form of replaceText.
What is the proper way to use replaceText since I keep getting an
error?
