How to locate and replace the 2ND occurence of "(" in a text?

Yes, but after storing to firebase, it spits out (a b (c d)). I think it is because the new list is appended to the old list.

#22

Everything right! ?

#23

I don’t think it will work.
Append method is used to add string to end of old string so I can’t say it will work with lists.
Maybe you can try other method.
I would like to see your blocks.

Isn’t this a list block?

I see. Ok, let me think of something. But I am still curious about the alphabet replacement though

See the DC of yesterday from @Mateja.

I see. ok. Yeah I am studying it

The plan is, if (a b(c d)) gets converted to ((a b) (c d)), even in text format, I can save it to a variable, I can manipulate it like a list of lists right?

What are the inputs for “string”,“segment”,“replacement” and “occurance”?

You can use the procedure like this:
