There must be an easy way to replace only the first occurrence of a substring
within a string. The replaceText function replaces all occurrences of a string
which matches the the supplied substring (actually the supplied regular
expression).
Obviously, it can be done with a loop, something like this:
put "Cat and Dog" into tString
repeat with tPos = 1 to the length of tString
if char tPos of tString = "a" then
put "*" into char tPos of tString
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
If there isn't an easier way, I'm sure many of you know a better way.
