Replaces any occurrence of substring in string with newstring.

$replace(string,substring,newstring,...)

You can also specify multiple replace parameters.

Note that if you have specified multiple replace parameter, it replaces one after another (see examples below). To avoid this, you can use $replacex.

$replacecs is the case-sensitive version of $replace.

Example

; at first set an example text.
var %mytext = This is a test
; here we actually replace a substring
var %mynewtext = $replace(%mytext,is,MOO)
; echo the new text to the active window
echo -a %mynewtext

This example will echo ThMOO MOO a test, as all occurences of the substring is were replaced with MOO'.

var %mytext = This is a test
var %mynewtext = $replace(%mytext,is,MOO,mo,foo)
echo -a $replace(%mytext,is,MOO)

This on will echo ThfooO fooO a test as at first, all is were replaced with MOO and after that, all 'MO' were replaced with foo.

Use $replacecs as case-sensitive version of $replace.

To avoid replacing an already replaced substring, you can use $replacex (or $replacexcs).
