No problem there to replace all occurences of waxs, lots of o with ways: Many of o in a huge file. It is not a matter of words, it is a matter of characters - and a space is a character. I can change any string with WebCat too, using nested loops, [GetChars], generated start and end values and write the whole text again via a database. But it is tricky and only for small text pieces (email addresses for example). By the way, even this would be a lot easier with text variables.
