filteredtitle = find_replace({badbadchars[badloop]},filteredtitle,"-",0) 

Its not working how you expected it to because you are trying to find the STRING "/" inside filteredtitle but that variable doesn't contain that string. It does however contain the character '/'.

Try this ...

include std/search.e  -- find_replace() 
 
   
  sequence badbadchars = "/" 
  sequence title = "SCRs, SCR/Diode - Arrays" 
  sequence filteredtitle 
   
  filteredtitle = title 
  for badloop = 1 to length(badbadchars) do 
    filteredtitle = find_replace(badbadchars[badloop],filteredtitle,'-',0) 
  end for 
  puts(1,filteredtitle&"\n")
