Yes it's possible. I would probably create a loop that goes the length of
the field and looks at each character and if it is a space it would set the
field to everything before the space & _ & everything after the
space...something like this.

Assuming that your text field is called "input":

Set Variable: "index" = 1
Loop While (index <= Length(input))
If (Substring(input, index, 1) eq " ")
Set Variable: "input" = Substring(input, 1, index-1) & "_" &
Substring(input, index+1, Length(input)-index)
End If
Set Variable: "index" = index + 1
End Loop

Subject: FLASH: replaces characters in a substring


Is there any way to replace characters in a substring-- I have a text field
with a handful of words in it, and I want to be able to take the value of
that text field and replace all the spaces in it with underscores. Is that
possible?

thanks!
