hi sean.
I can't answer your second question, but the first one I learned the answer too
only recently.
the function you want is called
StringReplaceChars and there is examples of how to use it, in the alt+d
description part of the script manager, or in the FSDN. I just forget which
right now? does exactly what you want.
note: from very little experience, my memory is that it replaces each character
separately, in the list of chars you give it in quotation marks, rather than
the whole phrase etc. nor does it appear the chars need any kind of delimiters
in that list either.
There's another function called StringReplaceSubStrings, which does whole
phrases, i.e. chars as a group including spaces etc. very handy.
Another handy one can be, StringStripAllBlanks, which removes tabs or spaces
from strings, which can be jolly handy tooo in certain situations.
someone more intelligent than I though wil need to answer the second part of
your question.

Hi:
I am scripting an application, and whilst looking on the screen I have
strings like in-play I want to replace the - character with a space. what is
the best way of doing this?
Also I need to alter wha is read when a window obtains focus. What is the
best way of doing this--wha variable within th focusChanged event determines
the focused window?
Chers
Sean.
