Still looking for help with replacing a string

Sorry for the repost but I'm still having a problem trying to replace a 
string using the ReplaceString class. I tried using it to replace a 10 
character string with another 10 character string via the method:

doIt(String inputFile, String outputFile, String strToFind, String 
message)

with a value of "YKHSPUIN29" for strToFind and "XGIFTCODEX" for message. 

Tracing through the code, "YKHSPUIN29" is being found as the result of a 
Tj operation and is then replaced by "XGIFTCODEX". However when I view the 
outputFile, only 2 characters, "IF", are being displayed.

A response to my earlier post asked if I'm using Latin characters, which I 
am, and if I'm using an uncommon font. The font is Arial. 

Thanks for any suggestions.
