[OS X TeX] Applescript-tcl dictionary, wishlist

[Claus Gerhardt]

The command below works without  problem. You must use the braces.
In my first find/replace formula I put them in the findText, etc., but 
Joachim suggested to put the braces in the DoScript context.

set findText to "$sin(x)$"
set replaceString to "the sine of $x$"

tell application "AlphaX"
	DoScript "eval replaceText " & "[search -r 0  " & "{" & findText & "}" 
& " " & "[minPos]]" & " " & "{" & "{" & replaceString & "}" & "}"
end tell
