Well, I just tried your script as modified below.

I copied everything between the ------s to the clipboard and your script ran perfectly.

So that's not where the problem is.

What are the "blah blah blah other searchreplace operations" doing?

Same SearchReplace job.

Are they using the same handler?

Yes.


What applications are involved in this process?

TextEdit

What application is the clipboard first created in?


TextEdit


The backslash is the appleScript escape character, but the slash may be an escape character for another ap.

You may also try:
set TheText to my SearchReplace(TheText, "eqUI//l", "equili")
set TheText to my SearchReplace(TheText, "equi//ibration", "equilibration")

Tried. Same issue.
NB:
When I do a "manual" search replace of "eqUI//l", directly in TE (command-F), it works OK (!?).


Try this too: open your script in script editor.

Insert these commands after you get the text from the clipboard:

log theText
log class of theText

Then open the apple event log and run the script.

Look a the log and see if it tells you anything useful.

Good idea. I'm going to try it.

HTH

IHAL (it helps a lot ;-)) MAny thanks. BA
