Sorry - my mistake/fault. $text1 always begins with <^JIM_JONES> by
is followed by various other stuff:

<^JIM_JONES> Leicester, 1720. Oxford, 1800 CONFIRMED: meeting at 19.10

And I'd like it to read, simply, JIM JONES: (I think having the name
in Caps would be best for now) and leave the rest of the text
unaltered:

JIM JONES: Leicester, 1720. Oxford, 1800 CONFIRMED: meeting at 19.10

Things like "Leicester" need to be capitalised, and CONFIRMED needs to
be in caps, so...hope this explains things a bit better. And if
you're both too busy, no problem!

Thanks,
