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

2009-07-14 Thread Kenneth Kawamoto 

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

// Flesh

Perhaps not the answer, I know ;)

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));
