OK, Ole, let me try again,

I think all you need to do is use the Replace function one time for each character. The Replace function replaces ALL occurrences of the specified character, so,

word_clicked := WordClicked word_clicked := Replace("æ"; "ae"; word_clicked) word_clicked := Replace("ø"; "oe"; word_clicked) word_clicked := Replace("å"; "aa"; word_clicked)

should do the job.

If you need to replace a lot of characters (more than 6 or 8), you could create a list (or lists) of the characters and replacers and then do a repeat loop:

characterList := ["æ", "ø", "å"] replacerList := ["ae", "oe", "aa"]

word_clicked := WordClicked

repeat with i := 1 to ListCount(characterList) word_clicked := Replace(characterList[i]; replacerList[i]; word_clicked) end repeat
