StrReplace

Use this function to replace a part of a character string with a different character string.

You may find the StrReplace function useful for comparison purposes. For example, suppose a complete symbol in your system appears in the format A11234.

You can use the StrReplace function to change all prefix codes from A to B.

Syntax:

STRREPLACE (SymName|"String","SearchString","NewString")

where:

  • SymName is the name of a symbol.
  • "String" is a character string enclosed in double quotation marks.
  • SearchString is an existing character string, enclosed in double quotation marks. This parameter is case-sensitive and must be typed with the correct combination of uppercase and lowercase letters.
  • NewString is a new character string, enclosed in double quotation marks. This parameter is case-sensitive and must be typed with the correct combination of uppercase and lowercase letters.

Syntax:

STRREPLACE (CodeLetB,"A","B")

Example:

CREATE VARIABLE StrTemp1 AS STRING

Variable = STRREPLACE ("SourceString","SearchFor","ReplaceWith")

SET VARIABLE StrTemp1 = STRREPLACE ("StringTest","Test","xxxx")

StrTemp1 will equal "Stringxxxx" (without the double quotation marks)
