I have a list of terms that I would like changed within a large text file. How do I use AutoHotKey to automate these changes? I have tried to use StringReplace but I'm not sure how to loop through the file while using this fuction. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

u need to use read loop

loop, read, inputfile, outputfile
{
stringreplace
stringreplace
stringreplace
...
fileappend
}

I appreciate your assistance. I've tried your sugesstion to the best of my ability but I've had no success. Here is my a more detailed descrition of my problem. I have a large text document that contains some unwanted free flowing text and some structured text. I'm trying to cleanup the file so that I can import it into MS access.

At the end of hte script you suggested using FileAppend.
Am I correct in assuming I should you the OutPutVar from the StringReplace function?

Thanks

yes, the StringReplaced outputvar has to be fileappended to the new file. this loop will process one line at a time for whole file and create a new file with replaced text.
