Ah, you want to exclude parts of words. Try this:
function wordOffsets str,cntr,wholeWords
if wholeWords = empty then put true into wholeWords
-- or you could default to false if you want
put offsets(str, cntr) into charList
-- assumes you have the offsets() function to draw on
-- see my previous email
if charList = "0" then return "0"
put the number of items of charList into nbr
put "" into oList
repeat for each item n in charList
if wholeWords and word n of cntr <> str then next repeat
put the number of words of (char 1 to n of ctr) & "," after oList
end repeat
if char -1 of oList = "," then delete char -1 of oList
return oList
end wordOffsets
This will still be extremely fast unless you're processing megabytes
of text.

Thanks, Craig. Unfortunately, this doesn't quite work either. If I
were to run:
replace "use" with "<box>use</box" in it
It would not only replace the whole word "use", but also the string
"use" in the word "used", so I would end up with something like
"<box>use</box>d", which is not the desired result.

Right, thanks to all.
Chris', your original regex question could better be addressed by:
on mouseup
get fld "yourField"
replace yourtext with "<box>" & yourtext & "</box>" in it
set the htmltext of fld "yourField" to it
end mouseup
This would be fast, and easily extendable, since we are just
crunching
data.
Not that there isn't a good regex solution as well...
