Info:  
Find and replace “a” with “able”. “b” with “bob”. ect…

Problem:  
I can change “a” to “able” the next line would change b, but it would change the string i just changed.

Example of what it does now:  
input: able to do this?  
output: aboble to do this?

Question:  
Can anyone make an example would be able to do this (just the a, and b, but allow me to add the rest of the letters easily)?
