VBS Tutorial: Method-replace Method _vbs

Replace method

Replaces the text found in the regular expression lookup.

object.Replace(string1, string2)

Parameters

Object

Required option. Always the name of a RegExp object.

String1

Required option. string1 is the string that will be replaced with text.

string2

Required option. string2 is a replacement text string.

Description

The actual mode of the replaced text is set by the RegExp object's Pattern property.

The replace method returns a copy of the string1 , where the regexp.pattern text has been replaced with string2. If no matching text is found, a copy of the original string1 is returned.

The following example illustrates the use of the Replace method.

Function ReplaceTest(patrn, replStr) Dim regEx, str1               ' Create a variable. str1 = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." Set regEx = New RegExp               ' Establishes a regular expression. regEx.Pattern = patrn               ' Set the mode. regEx.IgnoreCase = True               ' Sets whether the case is case-sensitive. ReplaceTest = regEx.Replace(str1, replStr)' For replacement.End FunctionMsgBox(ReplaceTest("fox", "cat"))            ' Will 'fox' Replaced by 'cat'。

; In addition , the Replace method replaces subexpressions in the pattern. The following is a call to a function in the previous example that replaces all the word pairs in the original string:

Exchange of words on.
