String Replace

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hello,

If I am correct, there is no built-in function for string replace.
Have you got your own function for it?

Okay. I'm lazy, but here is my function if someone interested.

function stringReplace(str, oldString, newString)
{
var result = str;

while (true)
{
var index = result.find(oldString);

if…

Substring is index based. I want a similar function as python string.replace.

I have a custom format string field, where the user can enter for example: "%s% / %g%"
In my code I want to change all %s% with the variable steps. All %g% with the variable stepGoal. + a few a more.

{

	var result = str;



	while (true)

	{

		var index = result.find(oldString);



		if (index != null)

		{

			var index2 = index+oldString.length();

			result = result.substring(0, index) + newString + result.substring(index2, result.length());

		}

		else

		{

			return result;

		}

	}



	return null;

}
