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

sb = Chilkat::CkStringBuilder.new()
sb.Append("red,blue,\"green,purple\",,yellow")

delimiterChar = ","
exceptDoubleQuoted = true
exceptEscaped = true

sb.SetNth(2,"magenta",delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped)
# Prints "red,blue,magenta,,yellow"
print sb.getAsString() + "\n";

sb.SetNth(3,"orange",delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped)
# Prints "red,blue,magenta,orange,yellow"
print sb.getAsString() + "\n";

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

sb.SetNth(2,"apple",delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped)
# Prints ",,apple"
print sb.getAsString() + "\n";

sb.SetNth(0,"orange",delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped)
# Prints "orange,,apple"
print sb.getAsString() + "\n";

sb.SetNth(1,"banana",delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped)
# Prints "orange,banana,apple"
print sb.getAsString() + "\n";
