I need to generate an index in VB Script. So far I know what I have to
do, and here is how I was figuring on doing it. I use InData to spray
the text in. Around the words I want to index I drop a glyph to mark it.
So, what I need to do is to do a search and replace for what is between
the glyphs and exchange it with an Index marker of some sort. Has anyone
done something like this? Basically what I want to do it...

So I would have text that looked like this

  ~Important Header~
   Here is the text for the important header

  ~A somewhat more important header~
   Here is the text for the more important header

For each word in document
	get word
	if word begin with "~"
		select from start of "~" to end character (1st instance)
		remove special_chars
		insert index entry from selected text
	end if
Next word
	

 
 I cannot figure out how to do the replace or the index entry?! Can
anyone help?
