hi guys, thanks for your responses, but i should have mentioned the placement of where the values is in the string would vary, it would not necessarily be in the same position, so the only thing that is fixed is the search string i.e. Value3 and where to replace i.e. before Value2
and the below seems to be dependant on the position...

#include <Xm/Text.h>
Boolean XmTextFindStringWcs (widget, start, wcstring, direction, position)
Widget widget;
XmTextPosition start;
wchar_t *wcstring;
XmTextDirection direction;
XmTextPosition *position;
DESCRIPTION
XmTextFindStringWcs locates the beginning position of a specified wide character text string. This routine searches forward or backward
for the first occurrence of the string, starting from the given start position. If a match is found, the function returns the position of
the first character of the string in position. Specifies the Text widget ID. Specifies the character position from which the search pro-
ceeds. This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the text buffer. The first character position is 0. Specifies the
wide character search string. Indicates the search direction. It is relative to the primary direction of the text. The possible values
are: The search proceeds toward the end of the buffer. The search proceeds toward the beginning of the buffer. Specifies the pointer in
which the first character position of the string match is returned. This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the buf-
fer. The first character position is 0. If the function returns False, this value is undefined.
