Thank you,
replace_all forks for me now.

But probably will need to go back to regular expression in the future.

I do not think I need to search, I just need to replace (in-place)
I assume the find_XXX functions do not do that.

I might have misunderstood but if I have a string

"
something!1!else!1!ornot   
"

and I want to replace  !1!    with

a new replacement text  "c:\temp\file.xls",

isn't the replace_all_regex the correct function to use?
if not, can you suggest an example with the combination of functions
you have mentioned

thank you
