When I started with WebCat I was told that everything is text. So why can't we use standard text functions? Even in 4D I simply write: Replace string(MyVariable;Ken Grome;Kenneth Grome) and it changes all occurences in a 30k text within a few milliseconds. There is an additional parameter for how many occurences to change, but this is rarely used and rather unnecessary.WhatText/OldString/NewString is exactly what we need in WebCat - no intelligence, no special delimiters, just change it...
