Hi Oleg,Is it possible to replace text "in" a text file?Example;file:test.txtIn the file the is a "." that needs to be replaced by ",".Best regards,Maurice

Yes of course.

use STR Replace action.
put
{TextFile(Test.txt)}
into source string
and write result into NewText variable (for example)
Next step - Write Text File
use expression
{NewText}
as text.
