Method

Replaces all occurrences of a string with another string.

Syntax

result=sourceVariable.ReplaceAll(oldString, newString)

Part	Type	Description
result	String	A copy of sourceVariable with any changes made by the ReplaceAll function.
sourceVariable	String	The original string.
oldString	String	The characters to be replaced.
newString	String	The replacement characters.

Notes

The ReplaceAll function replaces all occurrences of oldString in sourceString with newString. ReplaceAll is case-insensitive.

If newString is an empty string (""), the ReplaceAll function deletes every occurrence of the oldString in the sourceString.

If oldString is an empty string (""), the ReplaceAll function returns an unchanged copy of the sourceString.

Examples

Below are some examples that show the results of the ReplaceAll function

Var result As String
Var source As String = "xyxyxy"
result = source.ReplaceAll("x", "z") // returns "zyzyzy"

source = "the quick fox"
result = source.ReplaceAll(" ", "") // returns "Thequickfox"
result = source.ReplaceAll(" ", ", ") // returns "The, Quick, Fox"
