Your question is not clear. Provide more complete example of what you want to do including input and output files. I do understand why loops are nested nor why you write one file per inner iteration but that file does not seems to depends on outer loop.

By the way, it is hard to understand the question since code does not do what you tell in the question. If the code does not works as expected, then you should tell what you get and what you expect from that code.

Why is it flawed and why can't you fix it?

I think that what you are saying is that you have two text boxes, FindTxtbx and ReplaceWithTxtbx. I am not sure what "(MultiLine)" means but I think you are saying that in your example you want to replace "Task" with "SomeNamedTask" and "Enabled" with "Value".

There are many ways to do it. One way is to first create an array of structs and the each struct will have just two members, the text from a FindTxtbx line and the corresponding text from the ReplaceWithTxtbx line.

Use File.ReadAllText to read all the text into a string.

Then do a foreach for the array and do the replace to replace the find text with the replacewith text. Since the line separator will still be in the data, you don't need to go line-by-line, you can do the replace for all the text at once for each replacewith text.
