String

Text: Any string expression that you want to modify. SearchStr: Any string expression that shall be searched for. ReplStr: Any string expression that shall replace the found search string. Start: Numeric expression that indicates the character position within the string where the search shall begin. The maximum allowed value is 65535. Count: The maximal number of times the replace shall be performed. Compare: Optional boolean expression that defines the type of comparison. The value of this parameter can be TRUE or FALSE. The default value of TRUE specifies a text comparison that is not case-sensitive. The value of FALSE specifies a binary comparison that is case-sensitive. You can as well use 0 instead of FALSE or 1 instead of TRUE.
