String replace

[topspin]

Hello all

Is there an actionscript command which will replace part of a string, similar to the str_replace command in php?

thanks for any help

Here is a tutorial:

http://www.flashscript.biz/snippets/...ve_string.html

just instead of leaving the space blank

var joined:String = splitted.join("");

add the new string;
var joined:String = splitted.join("new string");

use substr(index,length):

code:

---

myString = "I am good";

myString = myString.substr(0,5) + "very" + myString.substr(4);



// myString = "I am very good";



myString = myString.substr(0,2) + "was" + myString.substr(9);



// myString = "I was good";

---

length is optional. if you don't specifiy the length the substr starting from the index until the end of the string will be returned.

String Replace functions

That tutorial demonstrates the traditional string replace which is typically split(orig).join(replace), but it also demonstrates case insensitive replacing which doesn't work with the traditional method.

Not my script, but it works like a charm:


myString = myString.replace("[", "<");


String.prototype.replace = function(pattern, replacement)
{
return this.split(pattern).join(replacement);
}
