Upgraded to IA8 some time ago...and found that "Replace String" has stopped working. It doesn't replace NEWLINE with [nothing] as it should (and did in IA7). Its used in my case for replacing NEWLINE when retrieving web sites...

Do you care to post some sample code and expected input and output?

Code:
Set Variable TMP to AAA$NEWLINE$BBB$NEWLINE$CCC
Write into Text File $LOG_FILE$ from Value TMP before: '$TMP$' (at end of file)
Replace $NEWLINE$ with ; in variable TMP
Write into Text File $LOG_FILE$ from Value TMP after: '$TMP$' (at end of file)

Output:
TMP before: 'AAA
BBB
CCC'
TMP after: 'AAA
BBB
CCC'

It worked fine in previus version.

Are you also experiencing other abnormalities in string parsing functions such as Parse String? Please let me know so I can escalate them as well as part of the same ticket.
