Requires the SubString Object but don't know how to use it so there are no events, can reupload without if necessary.

Hey there, if anyone can help with this problem I would be very grateful

I've made an application that reads sentences from text files. The text files are stored in a Combo box and are loaded when the frame begins.

Here is my problem.

I'm trying to find a way to find a particular word within ALL the sentences displayed in the combo box, and then to replace all instances of that word with another word.

Say, for example I have four lines in my combo box, all shown from a text file:

James is an old person
Mike is an old person
Another old person is Glenda
Also old is Harry

and I want to replace all the words that say "old" with "ordinary"

How could I go about doing this? I CAN find all the words using the FINDSTRINGEXACT but cannot find a way to replace those words

Thanks if you can help
