StringBuilder SetNth

Demonstrates the SetNth method. PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

# The SetNth method is handy for setting a part of a delimited string.
# For example:

$sb = New-Object Chilkat.StringBuilder
$sb.Append("red,blue,`"green,purple`",,yellow")

$delimiterChar = ","
$exceptDoubleQuoted = $true
$exceptEscaped = $true

$sb.SetNth(2,"magenta",$delimiterChar,$exceptDoubleQuoted,$exceptEscaped)
# Prints "red,blue,magenta,,yellow"
$($sb.GetAsString())

$sb.SetNth(3,"orange",$delimiterChar,$exceptDoubleQuoted,$exceptEscaped)
# Prints "red,blue,magenta,orange,yellow"
$($sb.GetAsString())

# What happens if we start with an empty string?
$sb.Clear()

$sb.SetNth(2,"apple",$delimiterChar,$exceptDoubleQuoted,$exceptEscaped)
# Prints ",,apple"
$($sb.GetAsString())

$sb.SetNth(0,"orange",$delimiterChar,$exceptDoubleQuoted,$exceptEscaped)
# Prints "orange,,apple"
$($sb.GetAsString())

$sb.SetNth(1,"banana",$delimiterChar,$exceptDoubleQuoted,$exceptEscaped)
# Prints "orange,banana,apple"
$($sb.GetAsString())
