Search and Replace in an HTML

Thu Jul 3 23:38:45 CDT 2008

Hi All,

I have a HTML file with the following:

<html>
<body
The following results: %%ANSWER1%% and %%ANSWER2%%
</body>
</html>

I have a M file running that grabs an entire line in html file and stores it
as a string.  I want to search in that string for "%%ANSWER1%%" aswell as
"%%ANSWER2%%".  If they're are not present the M file grabs and stores the
next line and searches again.

I want to have it search for the two strings mentioned in quotes above and
replace them in the html file numbers.

Now, the html file is a bit more complicated then shown above but for
simplicity sake I simplified.

My problem is that I can't figure how to search and replace in the text
file.  Can anybody help?
