REplace issue in livecode

[helenecrane]

Hello,
I'm new to LiveCode. I need to replace " snn" with "" & " sss" & "" in myHtml. it will replace all " snn" with " sss". but it will not work in the begin of a line(newline, \n).
Is there anyone having the same issue? How to fix it?

Hi Helen,

welcome to the forum!

What did you script so far?
Please post your script(s).

What is it about myHtml that is different from "normal" text?

When you say that "it will not work" do you mean that the leading white space in " sss" is not included in the replace... or something else?
Also, I am uncertain why there is an empty "" concatenated to the front and back of " sss". I wouldn't think that this would be functionally different from just " sss"
Additionally, you use "\n" to represent a new line which I assume is additional clarification for us about what "new line" means. I wouldn't actually expect to see "\n" used in html but rather "<br/>"

It is possible the OP is a bot: they joined the day that was posted and seems to have no direct connexion with LC as it concerns HTML.

Whoops: I apologise.

Thanks for your answer. I got it.

It would be good style to tell us what the problem and its solution was!

I'm on the fence for this one. For someone new to LC she seems to know a lot about LC in another very old thread. viewtopic.php?f=11&t=39417&p=232984#p232984
