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

Will place your Fullness and Spleen above the HP Image

void main()
{
   buffer results;
   results.append(visit_url());
   string hp_gif = "<img src=\"/images/itemimages/hp.gif";
   if ( my_fullness() >= 1 ) string full = "<tr>Fullness: <b>"+my_fullness()+"/"+fullness_limit()+"</b>";
   if ( my_spleen_use() >= 1 ) string spleen = "<tr>Spleen: <b>"+my_spleen_use()+"/"+spleen_limit()+"</b>";
   results.insert(results.index_of(hp_gif), full + "<br />" + spleen + "<br />");
   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.
