I suggest creating a extract from the book you are working one since attaching copyrighted files is not allowed here.
For the purpose of illustration, I replaced the found text with the same text. It circles back to the first file it checked.

I would rather not attach anything as the moderator has given me a final warning and I don't want to risk excommunication.

This definitely does not happen all the time, in fact, with very few publications indeed. The one that I attached was one of the publications where the replace did not work. I believe the issue to be file-structure based.

I thank you for your attention to this, but would just like to leave it there.
