strReplace

Replaces an existing substring with another substring.

If there are multiple occurrences of the substring to be replaced, they will all be replaced by the new substring.

Note: Use the Special String Operators for string concatenation, string inclusion, and simple comparison.

Type and Usage

• "Global Functions"

• "Strings"

Parameters

Takes three parameters:

• The first parameter is the string on which the substitution will be performed.

• The second parameter is the substring to be replaced.

• The third parameter is the substring that will replace the existing substring.

Output

Example

Replaces the word classified with restricted and results in the string This document is restricted.

<$strReplace("This document is classified.","classified","restricted")$>
