Replace All, Loop?

Hi,

I'm playing with OpenAI Assistants API.
I have read we are not doing loops in Toddle, but I can't get the logic of how to solve this case.

What I don't understand
I need to iterate over, or "know" how to replace all instances in a string, with new data, based on another array.

I have a string:
Hello [text_1] this is a string. [text_2]

I have an array (simplified example):
[
{
"text": "[text_1]"
},
{
"text": "[text_2]"
}

I want to replace [text_1] with "[0]" and [text_2] with "[1]". (Use index for now, maybe something else later)

Desired result:
Hello [0] this is a string. [1]

Any ideas?

Try using Split rather than Replace All and have the [4:3....] text as the delimiter. This will generate an array of the text with each section broken down into an element at each instance of [4.3...]. You can then map it to generate an array with the text and the index.

The numbers /string inside the [] does vary; so I will not have a fixed delimiter. If we had loop, I would think it could look like this:

For each item in array ie. (item = [text_1]),
Find and replace [text_1] in STRING, with item.index

This is just for the initial testing I think. In the end i will probably do this in the backend, but right now I'm using API/response for MVP.
