<h1>REPLACE/REPLACEB Function</h1>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The <b>REPLACE/REPLACEB</b> function is one of the text and data functions. Is used to replace a set of characters, based on the number of characters and the start position you specify, with a new set of characters. The <b>REPLACE</b> function is intended for languages that use the single-byte character set (SBCS), while <b>REPLACEB</b> - for languages that use the double-byte character set (DBCS) like Japanese, Chinese, Korean etc.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The <b>REPLACE/REPLACEB</b> function syntax is:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>REPLACE(string-1, start-pos, number-chars, string-2)</em></b></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>REPLACEB(string-1, start-pos, number-chars, string-2)</em></b></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><em>where</em></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>string-1</em></b> is the original text to be replaced.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>start-pos</em></b> is the beginning of the set to be replaced.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>number-chars</em></b> is the number of characters to be replaced.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>string-2</em></b> is the new text.</p>
|
|||
|
