Use repeat with i - 1 to the number of characters of myString step 3

Instead of my goofy repeat command
your replace can be modified to some
thing like the code below.
command replace_maybe @rString
repeat with i = 58 to length( rString ) step 58
put return after char i of rString
end repeat
end replace_maybe
But the problem is similar to what m
The code I posted is not accurate.
For one thing it should have been
put 71 into i
because the return will make the
72 char in the line.
Another problem is it does not end
with the last line being 72 chars or
less. Anyway this is a start to the fix.

Hi Dick,
I found the char was getting off by 1 each line
because of the EOL returns. Here is a regex
to strip the EOL returns.
put replacetext(theData,"[\0\cM\r\f\n]","") into theData
and then here is some code to put the EOL returns back.
put theData into tString
--put fld id 1022
Hi Dick,
That is really nice! Thank you.
It works great.

Hi, John.
Here's a way that works in under a millisecond on my iMac, and a way to test
its speed.
command replace_maybe @rString
repeat with i = 3 to length( rString ) step 3
if char i of rString is "D" the
Another thing to consider is the characters are
not in any specific crder. It could be cfacded or
anything else.
If is use a repeat for each char and the variable
as a counter that resets every three times then
I only need to make one pass through to make
the changes. But there might be a faster
Thanks, Kay!
The problem is there are no delimiters. It
is a string of only chars A to F and there
are no spaces etc.

Assuming tBigList contains your data and it is a tab separated list.
set the itemDelimiter to tab
repeat for each item tSearchThis in tBigList
if (char 3 of tSearchThis = "D") then
put "+" into char 3 of tSearchThis
end if
put tSearchThis & tab after tNewList
end repeat
--remove the trailing ta
Thank you for the info. I knew someone
who knew everything once but with the
rapid pace of change in technology it
became impossible for him to keep up
and everyday he ended up knowing a
little bit less.

My experience is that when doing string searching offset() is by far the
fastest way.
But I don't know everything.
