John,

The reason it crashes on the search is because you're incorporating the replace into your search.

You need to only search for the string of interest and then use the resulting list of references (taking care to iterate through them backwards) to do the replace by setting the contents of each to "".

Take a careful look at the example I provided and you'll see how to do it -- it's not as fast as a straight Find and Replace, but it doesn't crash.

This is an acknowledged bug and the only way around it is to do the kind of thing I did in that message.

Dave
