Hi, Your find and replace strings work fine for me, resulting in the file "papo de anjo.txt". Two things to check: 1) did you use the Replace Method? 2) did you tick the 'Use regular expressions' option? Incidentally, if you are just trying to make the filename lower case, you can use the 'Case Method', with the 'Set lower case' option. |

Hello If you delete in your FIND and REPLACE strings the 2 spaces it will be oke. FIND:\bP(\w+)D(\w+)A(\w+)\b REPLACE:p\1d\2a\3 Sorry for my English I'am from the Netherlands |
