replace_stringex
Syntax
native replace_stringex(text[], maxlength, const search[], const replace[], searchLen = -1, replaceLen = -1, bool:caseSensitive = true);Description
Given a string, replaces the first occurrence of a search string with a
replacement string.
Parameters
| 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. |
| searchLen | If higher than -1, its value will be used instead of a strlen() call on the search parameter. |
| replaceLen | If higher than -1, its value will be used instead of a strlen() call on the replace parameter. |
| caseSensitive | If true (default), search is case sensitive. |
Note
Similar to replace() native, but implemented with more options 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.
Note
Only available in 1.8.3 and above.
Note
This supports multi-byte characters (UTF-8) on case insensitive comparison.
Return
Index into the buffer (relative to the start) from where
the last replacement ended, or -1 if no replacements were
made.
