REPLACE ANY

[Bernard Chapman]

Why does the message box show

ef

when the code below is run?

#COMPILE EXE

FUNCTION PBMAIN() AS LONG
LOCAL mystring AS STRING

mystring="abcd"

REPLACE ANY "ef" WITH " " IN mystring


MSGBOX mystring

END FUNCTION

With REPLACE ANY the search and replace strings must be the same length. If they are not, errors will occur.

REPLACE ANY "ef" WITH "  " IN mystring

Eric,

When all else fails read the documentation. It was there all the time.

Thanks for that.

I can't think of a single time I've ever used ANY in my code, and since i am never knowing exactly what the string will be, using ANY almost always generates a Dr Watson for me...
I just never use it, never missed it either...

Scott, you must be tilting your head the wrong way when you are writing your code, or using the ANY keyword inappropriately...
