in RemoveTextBetweenQuotes

I want to make this function work in a loop. Basically I have data like asdad'123asda'asdasada'educate'asdas. I want to remove data between single quotes. The function I pasted is removing the first string between quotes. I am new to M querying and not able to get knoweldge anywhere else. Please some one help me.

(txt as text, delim as text) as text =>
    [pz = List.Buffer(Text.PositionOf(txt, delim, Occurrence.All)),
    out = if List.Count(pz) <= 1 
        then txt 
        else Text.RemoveRange(
            txt, 
            List.Min(pz), 
            List.Max(pz) - List.Min(pz) + Text.Length(delim)
        )][out]

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please try this:

let
    removeTextBetweenSingleQuotes = (inputString as text) =>
let
    RemoveBetweenQuotes = Text.Combine(List.Alternate(Text.Split(inputString, "'"),1,1,1))
in
    RemoveBetweenQuotes
in 
    removeTextBetweenSingleQuotes
