StringBuilder SetNth

Demonstrates the SetNth method. Xojo Plugin

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

Dim sb As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
Dim success As Boolean
success = sb.Append("red,blue,""green,purple"",,yellow")

Dim delimiterChar As String
delimiterChar = ","
Dim exceptDoubleQuoted As Boolean
exceptDoubleQuoted = True
Dim exceptEscaped As Boolean
exceptEscaped = True

success = sb.SetNth(2,"magenta",delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped)
// Prints "red,blue,magenta,,yellow"
System.DebugLog(sb.GetAsString())

success = sb.SetNth(3,"orange",delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped)
// Prints "red,blue,magenta,orange,yellow"
System.DebugLog(sb.GetAsString())

// What happens if we start with an empty string?
sb.Clear 

success = sb.SetNth(2,"apple",delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped)
// Prints ",,apple"
System.DebugLog(sb.GetAsString())

success = sb.SetNth(0,"orange",delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped)
// Prints "orange,,apple"
System.DebugLog(sb.GetAsString())

success = sb.SetNth(1,"banana",delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped)
// Prints "orange,banana,apple"
System.DebugLog(sb.GetAsString())
