RE: [Flashcoders] Equivalent of setCharAt to change a character in a string

2009-07-15 Thread Paul Steven 
Thanks Bob

Strange that there is not a simpler solution. Ah well, I guess I had just
hoped there was something equivalent to setCharAt

No worries anyway, I have decided to recode using an array.

Cheers

Paul

Ah yes. I missed that part.
How about this moderately less simple one using Kenneth's suggestion?

function swapCharAt(s:String, index:Number, char:String ):String{
var ptrn:RegExp = new RegExp("(.{"+index+"}).(.*)");
return( (s).replace(ptrn, "$1"+char+"$2") );
}
trace( swapCharAt("Flash", 2, "e") );

hth,
Bob

Thanks Robert - yes I am able to replace patterns but just wondered If  
simple way to change a particular character in a string based on the  
character index?

Thanks

Probably something really simple but can't for the life of me recall  
the syntax to change a particular character of a string.


For example if I have the word "Flash" and want to change the letter  
"a" to an "e", I was hoping there was a function like setCharAt(2,  
"e");


Btw I am coding in AS3.

Thanks

Does this not work for you?

// Change the first instance only
var myPattern:RegExp = /sh/;
// Change all instances
//var myPattern:RegExp = /sh/g;
var str:String = "She sells seashells by the seashore.";
trace(str.replace(myPattern, "sch"));

trace(("Flash").replace(/(.{2}).(.*)/, "$1e$2"));

// Flesh

Perhaps not the answer, I know ;)
