How could I set the current position inside edits and memos?
Like if I have text ("Pluto is millions miles away"), and I want to place the current position (where user input would go) after miles how could I do so?

Let's say that input holds the user input.
Trick #1:
Code:
UDF1.editbox.Caption = string.format('Pluto is millions miles %s away', input )

Trick #2,using captures:
Code:
UDF1.editbox.Caption = string.gsub( 'Pluto is millions miles away' , '(miles) (away)' , '%1 ' .. input .. ' %2' )
