StringReplace

[Arhowk]

Is there a good StringReplace library? couldn't find one on google, and i found Nestharus's FindString library on the hive but i'd need to edit it to make a StringReplace lib

Doesn't FindString return the integer where the string starts?
If so, you can concatenate substrings, which is the same as replacing it.

So, for example, if you have the string "TheSpoonAbides" and you wish to replace "Spoon" with "Dude", then you can use FindString to find "Spoon".
It will tell you that it starts at location 3.
So you can do (substring from 0 to 3) + "Dude" + SubString(3 + length of "Spoon" to length of string).
SubString from 0 to 3 is "The"
+ "Dude" = "TheDude"
+ SubString from 8 to 14 = "TheDudeAbides".

I hope this made sense .

Edit: you can add this function below "FindString", or in a separate library that needs FindString (the shortest library ever, then)

function ReplaceString takes string str, string strToFind, integer start, string strToReplace returns string
    local integer i = FindString(str, strToFind, start)
    return SubString(str, start, i) + strToReplace + SubString(str, i+StringLength(strToFind), StringLength(str))
endfunction

There are a few other collections for string functions that DarthFett made. I think some poptart guy made some on the hive too, but I think they are in the GY.
