What is wrong with this formula?

var text thisText = [Body];
$thisText = SearchAndReplace( $thisText, "[PC]", [Case - PC Full Name]);
$thisText

Wendy, are  you saying that the formula has invalid syntax and won't save or does not work.  I have used upper and lower case in the formula variable names and they work fine.

 and btw, you can chain these formula variables so each one refers to the previous one, so that you can successively replace the fields.
