Function to Replace a string with replacement string ?

[bandish]

Do we have a function in Parallel jobs to replace every occurrence of a string with replacement string?

Example:

Replace "ABC" with "PQR"

Input String: ABCXYZABC
Output String: PQRXYZPQR

Not unless you create one.

You could, of course, use a BASIC Transformer stage, which would give you access to the Ereplace() and Change() functions, but these are not natively available in parallel jobs (Modify or parallel Transformer stage).

EREPLACE() is not present in PX ??? I cant remember. I know Convert() function is present. Otherwise its not hard to write a C routine to do this.
string.h library in C has a lot of string functions. You can google it up.

Ereplace is not present in parallel jobs, except in the BASIC Transformer stage.

Thanks for the clarification. Could'nt remember.

We should have a function similar to Ereplace in Parallel jobs too .. !

So there are two options to implement it:

1. Use Basic transformer in Parallel job.
2. Write a parallel rouitne in C to accomplish the same.

Option 1, Basic transformer will slow down the performance of parallel job, If I am not wrong.
Option 2, Dont have idea on writing parallel routines. Please provide inputs on how to create a parallel routine?

Thanks

How about if you input is "ABCXYZABCA"
Even if the A that present in the last need to be convert to the corresponding caracter decode value, Convert() as mentioned by DSguru2B will be suitable.
I wish there should be a way to count the total number of presence of the substring using Count() and loop through the count and find the starting position using Index() and replace the given string.

Or as mentioned, google for the C code. http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/sc ... 0&lngWId=3

My requirement is String Replacement. So convert will not work.

For Ex:

Replace "ABC" with "PQRST"

Input String: ABCXYZABC
Output String: PQRSTXYZPQRST

Or as mentioned, google for the C code. http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/sc ... 0&lngWId=3

That particular code is a horrible example of C code, as the comments following it indicate. Further, it replaces only the first instance.

Check thisrecent post out. See if you bump into any problems.

I was able to see another very relevent link in google but that was in Ask Tom premium members.
But its good that we have another Tom (DSguru2B).
