replacetext()

[DustyPorViva]

I tried Tig's replacetext, but I couldn't get it to work, so I had to create my own. I thought I'd post it here in case anyone wanted to use it.

PHP Code:

function replacetext(txt,a,b) {
  if (txt.pos(a)<0) return txt;
  temp.txtpos = txt.positions(a);
  temp.newtxt = txt.substring(0,txtpos[0]);
  for (temp.i=0;i<txtpos.size();i++) {
    newtxt @= b;
    newtxt @= txt.substring(txtpos[i]+a.length(),txt.substring(txtpos[i]+a.length()).pos(a));
  }
  return newtxt;
} 


Functions simply via:

temp.test = replacetext("Hello\n \"world how\"\n\n are you?","\n",",");

will return Hello, "world how",, are you?(sorry I stole your thing, Tig!)

I don't know how efficient it is, but I got it working so I was happy with it.
