Modifying FindChangeByList

Question

These days I've been trying to modify the FindChangeByList script, but there's a huge problem. The words that I want to change are in my native language, Farsi, which is a Right-to-left one. Although the FindChangeList text file is in UTF-8 encoding, it doesn't understand the words I've typed. I searched in the community and found someone who managed to do it by chance. and here's the link:

I'm attaching the screenshot of my txt file and the result in the Find/change dialog box

The syntax you used is different from what it is written as a sample in the txt file I shared with you. Besides, I get this error when I use your string:

Ahh, I used the JS version of the script and you are using the Applescript version and hence the disparity in the findchangelist file. Can you use the string I gave with the jsx version of the script, it did do some changes when I tried.
