| Last value should be return delimited also. Let ( [ array = ¶ & array & ¶ ; array = Substitute ( array; ¶ & originalText & ¶; ¶ & replacementText & ¶) ] ; Middle ( array; 2, Length ( array ) - 2 ) ) |

| bbb, Removed quotes around return characters. However, your use of the Middle function is wrong. Since an array is considered to be a value list, adding a character return to the end only serves a purpose if the value list is somehow missing the end return character. If the intent of your rewrite is to correct such an error, then removing the added end return character in the Let result defeats the purpose. I have updated the defining of array to properly account for such an error. |

| Also updated function to replace all instances of found text, not just the first. | ||
