i want to replace two words using replace but i’m unable to do that
{{ replace “Batman and Robin” “Robin” “Catwoman” }} or {{ replace “hyde and jekyll” “jekyll” “Hugo” }}
i have tried `or` but it didn’t work

You can use Regex. `{{ replaceRE "(Batman)|(Robin)" ... }}`. Is that what you’re looking for?

Oh so, do you mean you want to replace the following strings:
`Batman and Robin`, `Robin`, `Catwoman` or `hyde and jekyll`, `jekyll`, `Hugo`?
It can work something like:
`{{ replaceRE "(Batman and Robin)|(Robin)|(Catwoman)|{hyde and jekyll)|(jekyll)|(Hugo)" ... }}`
Sadly, I’m having trouble understanding how exactly you want the text to be grouped. But, I can explain my code in my previous answer so you can just modify and use it:
`(...)` anything between those brackets would be marked as an entire group. So, if you want to find the entire phrase `foo plus bar`, you can use it like `(foo plus bar)`.
`|` is the `or` separator. It will stand for anything before or after that. For example, if you want to search for `foo` or `bar`, you can use it like `foo|bar`.
Does that help?

this one is working perfectly \>\>\> {{ (replace $name “teaching-and-academics” “academics” ) }}
now i also want to replace ( “photography-and-video” “photography”) that are in the same line
i’ve tried that but it didn’t work 😔
` {{ (replace $name ("teaching-and-academics" "academics") | ("photography-and-video" "photography") |}}`

Try nesting two `replace` calls. The inner call becomes the input to the outer call.
```auto
{{ replace (replace $name "teaching-and-academics" "academics") "photography-and-video" "photography" }}
```
