I need to do the following :

repeat with x=1 to the number of chars of the clicktext+5
    put "_" after char x of tChar
    end repeat

replace the clicktext with tChar in fld 1

where i want the exact word to be replaced...

e.g. I click "da" and I just want this to be replaced in the field (not "das", "Dach","Dame",...)

How can I solve this ?

A regular expression may include \b to match at a word boundary, even at the start or end of a string. Perhaps you can build up a regular expression and use replaceText(). (A "word" is a sequence of ASCII underscore, letter or digit that is bound by non-word characters or string boundary.)

The replaceText() function is improved for speed in Revolution 2.6, I understand.
