Which can be interpreted two ways.
One is the intuitive one, which is like a string- rather than
character-based version of tr///, where the input string is scanned for
the span of characters closest to the beginning of the string that
matches one of the elements in the domain list. This span of characters
is replaced with its corresponding entry in the range list. It then
does the same thing with the remainder of the string following the span
that's just been replaced. Wash, rinse, repeat. This is a useful
function.
Then there's the counterintuitive one, which is how ReplaceList() works:
function ReplaceList(text, rangeList, domainList)
{
var i = 0;
var range = ListToArray(rangeList);
var domain = ListToArray(domainList);
for (i = 1; i lte ArrayLen(range); i = i + 1)
{
text = Replace(text, range[i], domain[i], "ALL");
}
return text;
}
Which is, quite frankly, next to useless and violates the Principle of
Least Surprise. That, in itself, is a bug.

Ditto.
