StringReplace> Result

Post by JRL » Mon Dec 15, 2014 2:01 pm

It would be handy if StringReplace> returned a result code. It would be even better if the result code was the number of replacements.

Code: Select all

Let>Str=When the sins of my mother weigh down in my soul
StringReplace>Str,mother,father,Str
If>Replace_Count=1
  GoSub>ReWrite
EndIf

Hi JRL,

I agree that would be handy... even though we could use RegEx for this, see below:

Code: Select all

Let>Str=When the sins of my mother weigh down in my soul
RegEx>mother,Str,0,matches,Replace_Count,1,father,new_Str

If>Replace_Count>0
  GoSub>ReWrite
Else
  MDL>There were no replacements
EndIf

SRT>ReWrite
   MDL>Number of replacements: %Replace_Count%%CRLF%Old String: %Str%%CRLF%New Strng: %new_Str%
End>ReWrite
