Hey, Jim (nice name) Test my solution quickly by doing two things: Make a new mainstack, then set the script to the following => dbl click ----- start copy ------------------------- on mouseDoubleUp put "0025FE2F mov r1, [r2, lsl #2] | FE32FDB - ..D" into tempp put the ticks into startt put 5000 into lineCnt repeat lineCnt put tempp & cr after block end repeat put the ticks - startt into elapsed answer "Done building " &lineCnt & " lines " && elapsed && "ticks" put the ticks into startt get replaceText( block,"\|","MMMM") get replaceText(it,"].*MMMM .*","]") put the ticks - startt into elapsed put it -- result is in the msg box answer "Done replace 2x in " &lineCnt & " lines " && elapsed && "ticks" --my answer = 44 ticks end mouseDoubleUp -------- end copy ----------------- My result on a Mac G5 dual 2.0 was 0 ticks to create 5000 lines, and 44 ticks to do the replaceText. All I was able to figure out is that something about the line of text confuses the RegEx routine so that selection of the correct text is thwarted. The double replace Hope this works for you. Of course, you could use anything in place of the "MMMM" string to remain unique. It is just a place holder.
