BrewManNH 1,305 Posted May 19, 2011 You might want to check out the function _ReplaceStringInFile, if you want to replace every instance of the word pay with paid this should work for what you want to do. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

UEZ 1,278 Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Another way: $sText = FileRead("report.txt) $sNew = StringReplace($sText, "pay ", "PAID ") $hFile = FileOpen("PaidReport.txt", 2) FileWrite($hFile, $sNew) FileClose($hFile) Br, UEZ Edited May 19, 2011 by UEZ Please don't send me any personal message and ask for support!
