1) this is actually not possible because of the build up of the TEXT object.
2) String arrays are always shown in the correct sort. Maybe check txt_setvisible / invisible

A small addition:
The first question can be realized with the new txt_create command:

Code:

---

var Txt_Array[20];
TEXT* txt_pointer;
//...
var a = 0;
while(a < 20)
{
   Txt_Array[a] = handle(txt_create(1,1));
   a += 1;
}

//...
txt_pointer = ptr_for_handle(Txt_Arrray[0]); 
txt_pointer.font = font;

Triple-X

STRING clipstr;
function searchAndReplace(str,searchstr,replacestr)
{
	str_cpy(clipstr,str);
	var foundat;
	foundat = str_stri(clipstr,searchstr);
	
	while(foundat)
	{
		str_trunc(str,str_len(clipstr)-foundat+1);
		str_cat(str,replacestr);
		str_clip(clipstr,foundat+str_len(searchstr)-1);
		str_cat(str,clipstr);
		foundat = str_stri(clipstr,searchstr);
	}
	
}	


Example:
mystring="could not read the file";
searchAndReplace(mystring,"read","LOAD");
//mystring now is: "could not LOAD the file";

// ...somewhere in your text loading function
file_str_read(mystring);
searchAndReplace(mystring,"\\n","\n"); //replaces "\n" with linefeeds in the string
text.string[0] = mystring;
