for l in string.gfind(MyText,"localgreek%b{}") do
    l = string.gsub(l,'a','α')
    print(l)

	You can use gsub for everything:

-- untested
string.gsub (MyText, "localgreek(%b{})", function (l)
	return string.gsub (l, 'a', 'α')
end)

Hi Tomás!
This looks very promising and very elegant! I'll try to construct a dictionary for the substitutions, and then I would be done! Thanks a lot
