Try this one, if you optimize it, let me know :
UInt16 StrReplace(Char *ioStr, UInt16 inMaxLen, const Char *inParamStr,
const Char *fndParamStr)
{
Char *found;
Boolean quit = false;
UInt16 occurences = 0;
UInt16 newLength;
UInt16 l1 = StrLen(fndParamStr);
UInt16 l2 = 0;
UInt16 l3 = StrLen(ioStr);
UInt16 next = 0;
if (inParamStr)
l2 = StrLen(inParamStr); // can be null to know how many occur.
while (((found = StrStr(ioStr+next, fndParamStr)) != NULL) && (!quit))
{
occurences++;
newLength = (StrLen(ioStr) - l1 + l2);
if ( newLength > inMaxLen )
{
quit = true;
occurences--;
}
else if (inParamStr)
{
MemMove(found + l2, found + l1, inMaxLen-(found-ioStr+l2));
MemMove(found, inParamStr, l2);
next = found - ioStr + l2;
}
else
next = found - ioStr + l1;
}
if (inParamStr)
ioStr[l3 + l2*occurences - l1*occurences] = 0;
return occurences;
}
