It's a pretty nasty nuance, then. How's that?
It renders the find and replace function useless for formatted text.
And it did come as a shock, as it almost destroyed hours of work,
because it can't be undone. (No one had ever mentioned that I should
back up my stacks regularly.) This seems like a pretty big thing that
ought to be addressed by the engineering corps up in Edinborough, no?

Hi Mark,
at least Jeanne A. E. DeVoto pointed into the right direction:
- Put the HTMLtext of the field into a variable
- do the "replace" in the variable
- set the HTMLtext of the field to the variable
like
"put the htmltext of fld "X" into tInterim
replace <searchstring> with <replacestring> in tInterim
set the htmltext of fld "X"to tInterim".
This is applicable in most cases,
e.g. the coloring of the searchstrings in my "Searchdocs" stack is
brought about by the lines
"put the htmltext of fld "X" into tInterim
replace <searchstring> with "<FONT
color=#FF0000>"&searchstring&"</FONT>" in tInterim
set the htmltext of fld "X"to tInterim"
Regards,
Wilhelm Sanke
