(Erm, didn't realize that I had removed the bit that uses the function. Heh. New sample up, as that last one wasn't very efficient.)

Function Syntax

buffer replace_string(buffer original ,string find ,string replace )

buffer replace_string(string original ,string find ,string replace )

  • original is the starting string or buffer
  • find is the text to find in original
  • replace is the text to substitute for find

Searches through the supplied original text, replacing every instance of find with replace, and returns the result.

Code Sample

Replaces the center image of the Cyrpt (it's blank, don't worry) with some information regarding the noncombats of the zones.

void main()
{
   buffer results;
   results.append(visit_url());

   string cyrpt = "<font size=1>&lt;- Muscle &nbsp; &nbsp; Mys -&gt;<br />&lt;- Mox &nbsp; &nbsp; All -&gt;</font>";
   results.replace_string("<img src=\"http://images.kingdomofloathing.com/otherimages/cyrpt/cyrpt5.gif\">", cyrpt);
	
   results.write();
}

Special

Matches are made left-to-right, and once a portion of the supplied original is noted as a match, searching continues from the next character after said match.
