Thanks for your reply Dave.

I can see how that would work, the thing is...
The text comes from a database, so I don't quite know where the exact location of the table is going to be.
ie:
Text from InDesign document:

"Hello to you\r[table]\rAnd some more text"

where [table] is the hex 16 code.

The new replaced text might be:

"Not really really something hello\r[table]\rAnd some corrected text"

My problem is that I would like to insert the text while keeping the table reference, but that seems to fail.

Can you think of a way to do what I want?

I can see, that with your method, I could move the table(s) to one side and then relocate them back after the text has been replaced using the character array. But that's not very efficient.
