That is because Tcl never sees the variable. the first occurrence of 
"replaceText" (right after the "eval") is just a string of characters 
for AppleScript (since it is "quoted"), and the second occurrence is 
identified as a variable and replaced with its contents ("{string2}") 
before concatenating the string and passing it to "DoScript".

>>     DoScript "eval replaceText " & "[search -r 0  " & findText & " " &

But maybe you should change it anyway in order to avoid confusion. :)
