Editing text in the file action window isn't nearly as nice as editing in a Results HTML action, for a lot of reasons. I assign the file contents to a variable in a Results HTML action and then reference the variable in the file contents window.

Using WinXP, and Studio v. 5.0, I've come across a limitation in the amount
of text that you can put into the file action window.  I don't know the
exact character limitation, but it will cut off anything pasted larger than
a certain amount of characters.  After that, you can't add to the text in
the file action, or EVEN do searches and replaces if it would makes things
larger.

Stranger still, if you do a search/replace once you've reached the character
capacity, rather than replacing just the word, it will replace characters
around the word, not just the word so that the replace won't fail, and the
character count remains the same (but that is of course NOT what you want it
to do, and you have to be careful to CHECK that your search/replace didn't
increase the amount of characters beyond the limit).

Anyone experienced this, is there another version out there of Studio that
is more stable - my studio still crashes frequently, and the file action
limitation requires me to make multiple write/append/append actions for
files with lots of content.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
