Javascript to find and replace and then update fields

I have a 2 part issue: Using the [iol] method, I have a mod.js file and am calling it in my form. Issue #1: I am able to retrieve the data in some of the fields using  var intro = _fid_15....

What is wrong with this formula?

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

I get an error.
Inside the formula it says "Expecting text but found Boolean" 

On save I get this error:

There are extra characters beyond the end of the formula.


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

  $thisText

I have tried it with and without a semi-colon after the ) on the line of $thisText. 

FYI: I did just write a .js script file using the [iol] method to do all of the search and replace, format the dates, and then write the value back to the field. After a little bit of tinkering with your API, it all was pretty simple. I know you have answered a couple of my other questions (it's all related) and want to say thanks.
