AnsiStrings.ReplaceStr Function

Pascal

function ReplaceStr(const AText: AnsiString; const AFromText: AnsiString; const AToText: AnsiString): AnsiString;

Description

Use ReplaceStr to replace all occurrences of the substring AFromText with the string AToText, within the string AText. ReplaceStr returns the string obtained after replacement.

Use ReplaceText to do a case-insensitive replacement.

Note: Both the parameters and the return values are of type AnsiString. To do the replacement in a UnicodeString context, use the ReplaceStr function. Also, to do the replacement in a WideString context, use the WideReplaceStr function.

Note: Recursive replacement of substrings is not supported. This means that if the substitution of AToText results in a new match for AFromText, that match is not replaced.

ReplaceStr is the same function as AnsiReplaceStr.

The StringReplace function is a more general replacement routine, giving case-sensitivity options, as well as the option to decide whether to replace all occurrences or just the first occurrence of the substring in the string.
