Hmmm nice. I have not quite figured out regular expressions yet. I
will have a look at them again. I did need a function so I could
exclude comment lines which might inadvertently look for things I am
trying to replace (like empty with foxEMPTY in my Foxpro Functions
library). Still, regular expressions look like they can eliminate the
bulk of my programming. It was such a nice function too!

What I needed was something that would replace the WORD blah with the
WORD noblah, ignoring words that CONTAIN blah, including subsequent
search and replace executions.
Bob, you can use replaceText with regular expressions to get the
same thing:
put replaceText(tString,"\bblah\b","noblah")
This causes it to match by "word boundaries" on either side, so it
won't
replace "blah" inside words, among other things, which affects
subsequent
replacement executions...
