The Find and Replace says it’s in Demo mode – where’s the demo? It doesn’t do anything. It merely runs the workflow with no changes.

So, I first told the automator to find all the “/” and replace with a “~”. Then I ran all my search/replaces and at the end, I had it replace the “~” back with the “/”.
