Find and replace

[NewsArchive]

Just having a bit of a brain fade after a long day.

I have a long string (a pathname) in which one of the phrases at the end is
"Equine Manager". I want to search the string and replace "Equine Manager"
with "EquineManager". - Take out the space.

I cannot take out all the spaces in the string as the others are valid.

How do I do this please?

Thanks

The correct way, create a local variable and put the text there once
you do that find each use and update that instance with an embedded
variable. Now you can change it in ONE location and cover your bases.

Right from the horses mouth:

Now hold your horses and get off that high horse!

Hope he doesn't get a charley horse from all that keyboarding, but no
use beating a dead horse.

BTW, wild horses couldn't stop me from this horsing around.

Hope he's REALLY SO SO hungry (and thirsty too, but you can't make
him..).

I guess I'll finally put this post out to pasture, but a nod is as
good as a wink to a blind horse.

Sorry Lee with all due respect you're telling me what I know. I guess what
I'm asking is HOW do I do that?

Anyone got a code snippet, an example please of a Find and Replace in SB?

Thanks

BTW I have some code that can replace the complete line, but what I am
struggling with is how to replace a subset of that line.

So for example say I have:

"The cat sat on the mat" I want to replace the word "cat with "dog" to
achieve "the dog sat on the mat".

That is the actual problem. I cannot find a find/replace function in SB as I
would find in a programming language. But I am sure it is obvious. Just
cannot see it.

Thx.

Ah hah found it. Handle string function. Probably a combination of Split
Source String and Remove Blanks will do it.

Nope, even easier...


Set Variable %YADA% to "Dog"

Display Message Box "The cat sat on the mat" -- "Something"

Display Message Box "The %YADA% sat on the mat" -- "Something"

Set Variable %YADA% to "cat"

Display Message Box "The %YADA% sat on the mat" -- "Something"
