(SRPL(sourcestring,searchstring,replacestring,[0|1]))
Enables searching for and replacing text within a specified string of text.
sourcestring - specifies a string of text to search
searchstring - specifies text to search for
replacestring - specifies the replacement text
flag - 0 = replacement occurs for every matching string
- 1 = replacement occurs for whole word matches only
The following "0 flag" example replaces 04/20/64 with 04-20-64:
SET VAR vsrpl = (SRPL('04/20/64','/','-',0))
The following "1 flag" example replaces Dear Joe with Dear Anne:
SET VAR vsrpl = (SRPL('Dear Joe','Joe','Anne',1))
However, with this next "1 flag" example DearJoe remains the same as DearJoe is a whole word without a space.
SET VAR vsrpl = (SRPL('DearJoe','Joe','Anne',1))
