XtScript Function: str_replace and str_ireplace

Find all occurrences of a case-sensitive, or a case insensitive sub-string within a string and replace them with another sub-string.

If you want to do search-and-replace job, you can do it using two of XtScript's built in function str_replace and str_ireplace.

str_replace is an XtScript function that will search for a substring in search argument and replace it with the given replace argument, CASE-SENSITIVELY.

If you want the function to do the search and replace as CASE-INSENSITIVE, then you can use str_ireplace function instead.

XtScript str_replace and str_ireplace function basic syntax:

<!--parser:xtscript-->
	# "Search and replace" case-sensitively
	call str_replace $subject=...; $search=...; $replace=...

	# Doing case-insensitive "search and replace"
	call str_ireplace $subject=...; $search=...; $replace...
<!--/parser:xtscript-->

Learn XtScript str_replace and str_ireplace function from examples

Do a case-sensitive search and replace operation using XtScript str_replace function.

- Code: 
<!--parser:xtscript-->
	# Assigning space into variable using chr function so we can use space as the last character in print command
	var $spa = call chr $val=32

	var $string = I love xtgem and the xtgem script!

	print Original: $string <br/>

	print Replaced:$spa
	call str_replace $subject=$string; $search=xtgem; $replace=<b>server side</b>
<!--/parser:xtscript-->
- Result:
Original: I love xtgem and the xtgem script!
Replaced: I love server side and the server side script!

Do a case-insensitive search and replace operation using XtScript str_ireplace function

- Code: 
<!--parser:xtscript-->
	var $string = I hope and i think everyone will be ok.
	var $sea = I
	var $rep = <u>WE</u>

	var $new_string = call str_ireplace $subject=$string; $search=$sea; $replace=$rep

	print Original: $string <br/>
	print Replaced: $new_string
<!--/parser:xtscript-->
- Result:
Original: I hope and i think everyone will be ok.
Replaced: WE hope and WE thWEnk everyone wWEll be ok.
