Hi,

I am working on an agent where I need to find the string to the left and right of a string.
For e.g. Suppose there is a field which might has data like, "This product was made in japan and exported".

So, I need to change the text "made in japan" in that field to "Manufactured & Assembled in Japan". I simply need to replace a sequence of text within a string with some other text.

OrigText=doc.Field1(0)
appendLeft = Evaluate(|@Left(|&OrigText&|,"made in japan")|)

appendRight = Evaluate(|@Right(|& OrigText&|,"made in japan")|)

'appendLeft = StrLeft(OrigText,"made in japan" )

'appendRight = StrRight(OrigText,"made in japan" )

temptext= appendLeft + "Manufactured & Assembled in Japan" + appendRight

I am not able to make either Evaluate or StrLeft and StrRight functions work.

Thanks in advance!
Suji M
