Replacetext function not found?

[Simon Knight]

I was trying to use the statement "replactext" but it refuses to pass the syntax checking:

Code: Select all

replaceText("malformed","mal","well") -- returns "wellformed"

stack "ICDTextFileConverter": execution error at line 37 (Handler: can't find handler) near "replaceText", char 1

any ideas?

Simon,
replace is a function, you have to tell it what to do.
try

Code: Select all

put replaceText("malformed","mal","well") into field 1 -- returns "wellformed" 

that works for me
regards
Bernd

I know, but my good education forced me to put it this more diplomatic way
