Is there any script of command that can help me search and replace text in a text file? I have a script with some inputboxes. What the user writes is stored into variables. Now, I need to add a series of commands to search a specific string in some text files and replace it with those variables.

If you want to use a ready made solution have a look at TF.ahk A Library for Text file manipulation or http://www.autohotkey.net/~hugov/tf-lib.htm

Functions of interest are TF_(RegEx)Replace(InLines)

If you want to roll your own look at the FileRead, StringReplace, RegExReplace AutoHotkey commands.

This latest script you posted works fine, althought I don't understand well the code. Anyway, could you tell me how to remove the replacement input box and substitute it with a fixed text, for instance, a word, which will always be the same. Thanx.

I don't need any search function. I just need that the script replaces any instance of a word in a txt file (it's always the same word and it will be in the file) with what the user sends through a input box.
