I have a text file that contains "cheese|cheese" among its contents.

And I wonder why THIS throws a 'bluey':

Code: Select all

put 1 into VOXX
   repeat until VOXX > 500
      if word VOXX of fld "GUFF" contains "|" then
         put word VOXX of fld "GUFF"
      end if
      add 1 to VOXX
   end repeat

OK, that's working now.

BUT this isn't:

Code: Select all

put 1 into VOXX
   repeat until VOXX > 500
      if word VOXX of fld "GUFF" contains "|" then
         put word VOXX of fld "GUFF" into ZOOP
         set the itemDelimiter to "|"
         put item 2 of ZOOP into ZAAP
         replace word VOXX of fld "GUFF" with ZAAP
      end if
      add 1 to VOXX
   end repeat

Syntax error for "replace". Should be:

Code: Select all

replace word VOXX of fld "GUFF" with ZAAP in fld "GUFF"
