Equivalent of PB REPLACE command

[chrisc]

in PB, we have a REPLACE command which according to  http://www.manmrk.net/tutorials/basic/PowerBASIC/pbcc/replace_statement.htm

              replace all occurrences of one string with another string

for example

Code: [Select]

A$ = "abacadabra"

'now replace "bac" with "----bac----"

REPLACE "bac" WITH "----bac----" IN A$

A$ = "abacadabra"

'now replace all "b", "a", and "c" with "*"

REPLACE ANY "bac" WITH "***" IN A$


 is there an equivalent command in O2 ?

Chris,

These are not optimised but they have the functionality

Code: [Select]

    i+=1
  loop
end sub

====

s="abcdefabcdef"
replace s,"abc","ABC"
print s 'ABCdefABCdef'

replaceAny s,"fed","FED"
print s 'ABCDEFABCDEF'

hi
this one is also from Charles but i don't know when

Code: [Select]

Function Replace(string t,w,r) as string
  '=======================================
  '
  sys a,b,lw,lr
  string s=t
  '
  lw=Len(w)
  lr=Len(r)
  a=1
  ' 
  do
    a=Instr(a,s,w)
    If a=0 then exit do
    s=Left(s,a-1)+r+Mid(s,a+lw)
    a+=lr
  End do
  Return s
End Function

Thanxx both of you
i will test out these functions  this weekend and tell you my results
