Replaces any occurrence of substring in string with newstring except for replacements that have already been made.

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

This is the same as $replace but it doesn't replace already replaced text (see example below).

$replacexcs is the case-sensitive version of $replaxce.

Example

; set a test text
var %mytext = This is moo
; actually replace substrings
var %mynewtext = $replacex(%mytext,is,moo,moo,foo)
; echo it to the active window
echo -a %mynewtext

This example will echo Thmoo moo foo as at first is was replaced by moo and after that, all moo that are no replacement, replaced by foo.

Take a look at $replacexcs for the case-sensitive version.

Use $replace (or $replacecs) for 'normal' replacing (inclusive already replaced substrings).
