It may be an unintended consequence, but on the other hand, I cannot
reproduce this problem. Is it possible that some aspect of one of
the text strings causes the function to fail? Test it on some very
simple text labels, like "abc1". If the problem is specific to
something in the label, I will need an example to figure out how to
fix it.

Yes, that can be done pretty easily. It's all done with regular
expressions in Tcl, so virtually any manipulation is possible. It's
just a matter of finding a convenient way to add this to the GUI that
makes the function easy to use without getting in the way.
