basic js functions give error

[daveream]

I have been developing a script incrementally and it's being executed fine.

When I started to refine it, some "basic" javascript functions get an error when I run the script:

     expression.function(...) is not a function

for instance,

     string.replace("a","b");

or

     date().getfullyear()

try this

JavaScript String replace() Method

JavaScript getFullYear() Method

.replace() is a text function, so if xyz.replace('a','b') throws the error '. . . is not a function', then xyz is probably not text, but some text object. In that case, you need xyz.contents.replace('a','b').
