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

oSb := CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
oSb:Append('red,blue,"green,purple",,yellow')

cDelimiterChar := ","
nExceptDoubleQuoted := 1
nExceptEscaped := 1

oSb:SetNth(2, "magenta", cDelimiterChar, nExceptDoubleQuoted, nExceptEscaped)
//  Prints "red,blue,magenta,,yellow"
? oSb:GetAsString()

oSb:SetNth(3, "orange", cDelimiterChar, nExceptDoubleQuoted, nExceptEscaped)
//  Prints "red,blue,magenta,orange,yellow"
? oSb:GetAsString()

//  What happens if we start with an empty string?
oSb:Clear()

oSb:SetNth(2, "apple", cDelimiterChar, nExceptDoubleQuoted, nExceptEscaped)
//  Prints ",,apple"
? oSb:GetAsString()

oSb:SetNth(0, "orange", cDelimiterChar, nExceptDoubleQuoted, nExceptEscaped)
//  Prints "orange,,apple"
? oSb:GetAsString()

oSb:SetNth(1, "banana", cDelimiterChar, nExceptDoubleQuoted, nExceptEscaped)
//  Prints "orange,banana,apple"
? oSb:GetAsString()

oSb:destroy()
