    Thank you! It helped me a lot! 

     

    And I had to correct this way to solve everything :

     

      if (aqString.Find(bLine, "data") != -1) 
   {               
   bLine = aqString.Replace(bLine,"data", "data" + count)               
   }              
  if (aqString.Find(bLine, "idChart") != -1) 
   {                
   bLine = aqString.Replace(bLine,"idChart", "idChart" + count)               
   }              
  if (aqString.Find(bLine, "chart") != -1)  
   {                
   bLine = aqString.Replace(bLine,"chart", "chart" + count)                
   }

aqString.Find returns an integer value (see https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/program-objects/aqstring/find.html).  if statments need a boolean value to execute.  basically, you're saying if 2 then...  That doesn't exactly execute.

 

Basically, all your if clauses add != -1... like so.

 

  if (aqString.Find(bLine, "data") != -1) 
   {               
   aqString.Replace(bLine,"data", "data" + count)               
   }              
  if (aqString.Find(bLine, "idChart") != -1) 
   {                
   aqString.Replace(bLine,"idChart", "idChart" + count)               
   }              
  if (aqString.Find(bLine, "chart") != -1)  
   {                
   aqString.Replace(bLine,"chart", "chart" + count)                
   }
