String Replacement

This example shows how to do string replacement in Visual Basic.

Dim s As String
s = "Chilkat Software, Inc. : A software components company"

' Relace all occurances of a substring, case sensitive
s = Replace(s, "software", "hardware")

' prints "Chilkat Software, Inc. : A Hardware Components Company"
Print StrConv(s, vbProperCase)

' Replace all occurances, case-insensitive
s = "Chilkat Software, Inc. : A software components company"
s = Replace(s, "software", "hardware", 1, -1, vbTextCompare)

' prints "Chilkat Hardware, Inc. : A Hardware Components Company"
Print StrConv(s, vbProperCase)

' Replace only the 1st occurance, case-insensitive
startPos = 1
maxToReplace = 1
s = "Chilkat Software, Inc. : A software components company"
s = Replace(s, "software", "hardware", startPos, maxToReplace, vbTextCompare)

' prints "Chilkat Hardware, Inc. : A Software Components Company"
Print StrConv(s, vbProperCase)
