1. An idea that worked
Dear Euphorians
Below is an idea that worked. You may have no need for it
but it was fun getting it to work. It implements a find/replace
but goes about it differently ... at least differently to the
way I've been coding such things over the years.
Use it if you want. Poke holes in it if you will. Improve on it
if you can (which is likely) but give me some feedback.
Thanks,
ZB.
------------------- replace.e -----------------------
global function replace( sequence inThis, sequence findThis, sequence putThis )
sequence res
integer i
res = ""
while 1 do
i = match( findThis, inThis )
if i = 0 then
res &= inThis
exit
end if
res &= inThis[ 1 .. i - 1 ]
res &= putThis
inThis = inThis[ i + length( findThis ) .. length( inThis ) ]
end while
return res
end function
