I need to replace some text,
1. I don't know what is that text.
2. I know the position of the text,
3. I don't want to change any text other than that text

eg: This is an sample text splitted with tab 10 100 10 tab

seperated line with tab (not space)

I need to replace word with position 6 ("tab") with "my name"
But i don't want to change the second word "tab"

Eg: This is____an_______sample________text_______splitted with_______tab______10______100_______10_______tab

Namaste samjith,

the magic word is "itemdelimiter"
Then it is a simple as this:
...
set itemdel to TAB
put "your name" into item 6 of tText
...
