How do I replace a character in a line?
The character to replace is always in column 27

If it's always in the same position just use MidStr.

If you always want to replace character 27 with A:

//extract chars 1 to 26
MidStr>line,1,26,firstbit

//extract chars 28 onwards
Length>line,L
MidStr>line,28,L,lastbit

//Put them together with replaced character:
Let>newline=%firstbit%A%lastbit%

If you just want to replace all occurences of a character in a string use the StringReplace function.
