replace_string

Syntax

native replace_string(text[], maxlength, const search[], const replace[], bool:caseSensitive = true);

Usage

Parameter Description
text
String to perform search and replacements on.
maxlength
Maximum length of the string buffer.
search
String to search for.
replace
String to replace the search string with.
caseSensitive
If true (default), search is case sensitive.

Description

Given a string, replaces all occurrences of a search string with a
replacement string.

Note

  • Similar to replace_all() stock, but implemented as native and
    with different algorithm. This native doesn't error on bad
    buffer size and will smartly cut off the string in a way
    that pushes old data out.
  • Only available in 1.8.3 and above.
  • This supports multi-byte characters (UTF-8) on case insensitive comparison.

Return

Number of replacements that were performed.
