Macro only executes one of two replace functions

[tmpetersen]

I Created a macro to add ticks around a string of characters on a line (to make a in clause for oracle).
Starts out as zzzzzzzzzzzz
after macro 'zzzzzzzzzzzz',

Macro
Replace from ^ to '
Replace from $ to ',

save macro.
While creating the macro, it properly does the replace on both sides of the string. When I run it from the macro command, only the left side is performed.

Can someone tell me if I need to do something else to get the macro to finish properly.

Make sure that your macro moves the cursor to a "home" position before doing the replacements.

CTL-HOME will usually bring the cursor to the top left of your document.
HOME will usually bring the cursor to the beginning of the line.

Not sure what these macros do ....
Macro
Replace from ^ to '
Replace from $ to ',

What are the actual Search/Replace strings you are using?
Are the chars that need to be surrounded the only chars on the line? Are they at the beginning, the end, or in the middle?
