String Replacer only replaces one set of values and does not maintian previous changes

I have a String of words EX " the Big and Bad Dog" and need to replace 2 words not next to each other (Big and DOG). I split the string up by words and then coded the string replacer to replace these words. This worked but now the 1st word comes back after being replaced already

I can't be certain without seeing your code, but my guess is you did something like this:

oldString = "the Big and Bad Dog";
newString = replace(oldString, "Big", "Small")
newString = replace(oldString, "Dog", "Cat")

The problem is that the third line replaces "Dog" in oldString not the newString created on the second line. You could fix this by changing the third line:

oldString = "the Big and Bad Dog";
newString = replace(oldString, "Big", "Small")
newString = replace(newString, "Dog", "Cat")

Another alternative is to make both changes in one line.

newString = replace(oldString, ["Big", "Dog"], ["Small", "Cat"])

S = 'the Big and Bad Dog';
regexrep(S, {'Big', 'Dog'}, {'Small', 'Pinata'})
