IchBistTod Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Okay I want to replace only an exact phrase in a string. Example: "dog ate dog2" When I want to just replace "dog" with "the dog" I get "the dog ate the dog2" when I want. "The dog ate dog2" So it will only replace if the whole word matches. Do you understand what I am saying? Thanks for help. [center][/center][center]=][u][/u][/center][center][/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logmein Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Try this : $text1 = 'dog ate dog2' $replaced = StringReplace ($text1,'dog','the dog',1) ConsoleWrite ($replaced) [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][s]Total USB Security 3.0 Beta[/s] | [s]Malware Kill[/s] | Malware Scanner | Screen Hider | Locker | Matrix Generator[s]AUTO-SYNC 1.0 | MD5 Hash Generator | URL Checker | Tube Take [/s]| Random Text[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IchBistTod Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Try this : $text1 = 'dog ate dog2' $replaced = StringReplace ($text1,'dog','the dog',1) ConsoleWrite ($replaced) Not acceptable. Sorry. Text may need to be replaced more than 1 time. like "Dog ate dog2 and dog was happy" then needs to be "The dog ate dog2 and the dog was happy" You see better now what I am meaning?

JRowe Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) $text1 = 'dog ate dog2 and dog died of indigestion, dawg.' $replaced = StringRegExpReplace($text1, "(dog )|( dog )", " the dog ") ConsoleWrite($replaced) Something like that. You might have to do two passes. StringReplace and StringRegExpReplace both work with whitespace. You could refine the regex to work with beginning of the string, and to exclude partial matches inside strings like bulldog and hotdog, if they exist.

IchBistTod Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) this will be acceptable $text1 = ' dog ate dog2 and dog died of indigestion, dawg. Hotdog bulldog.' $replaced = StringRegExpReplace($text1, "( dog )", " the dog ") ConsoleWrite($replaced&@CRLF) as in my code nothign needs replace that is the very first word. =] thank you. I actually make it work this way. But how would I make it so it only replace exact word like test test1 replace with aha and have aha test1 not aha aha1 Edited March 23, 2010 by IchBistTod [center][/center][center]=][u][/u][/center][center][/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
