I don't knok php but from what I read looks like StringReplace() or can be done with StringReplace().

Stringreplace replace one char with another, strtr replace chars in a string with a char of second string at same position :

strtr("Example", "xam", "Xzt) -> EXztple (x replaced with X, a replaced with z and m replaced with t)

[smartee]

MsgBox(64, "I beg to differ :)", StringReplace("Example", "xam", "Xzt"))

[JihanLukas]

MsgBox(64, "I beg to differ :)", StringReplace("Example", "xame", "Xzty"))

Stringreplace replace one char with another, strtr replace chars in a string with a char of second string at same position :

strtr("One Example", "xame", "Xzty) -> Ony EXztply (all x replaced with X, all a replaced with z, all m replaced with t and all e with y)

'

string strtr ( string $str , string $from , string $to )

string strtr ( string $str , array $replace_pairs )

If given three arguments, this function returns a copy of str where all occurrences of each (single-byte) character in from have been translated to the corresponding character in to, i.e., every occurrence of $from[$n] has been replaced with $to[$n], where $n is a valid offset in both arguments.

If from and to have different lengths, the extra characters in the longer of the two are ignored. The length of str will be the same as the return value's.

hi JihanLukas ,

Ok, firstly, Welcome to the forums

Secondly, did you try running the code I posted above? What did you see?

Your perception of StringReplace's behavior is wrong. Read the help file and you will learn that it replaces a substring in a string, not just a single character.

I did a function for you. Take a look to check whether this is what you need (or take it as an example to do your own function):

expandcollapse popup

$string = "this is a Test"
$first = "tTieat"
$second = "Tt134"

;Example
$resultstring = _strtr($string, $first, $second)
ConsoleWrite("Origin: " & $string & @CRLF & "Result: " & $resultstring & @CRLF)


;Here starts the function
Func _strtr($yourstring, $param1, $param2)
    ;If any of the params are empty, set error and return
    If $param1 = "" Or $param2 = "" Or $yourstring = "" Then Return SetError(-1,-1,-1)

    ;Check params lenght
    $lenghtparam1 = StringLen($param1)
    $lenghtparam2 = StringLen($param2)

    ;Check both params an
    Select
        Case $lenghtparam1 < $lenghtparam2
            $param2 = StringLeft($param2,$lenghtparam1)
        Case $lenghtparam1 > $lenghtparam2
            $param1 = StringLeft($param1,$lenghtparam2)
    EndSelect

    ;Put all characters of the params and the string in arrays
    $aparam1 = StringSplit($param1,"")
    $aparam2 = StringSplit($param2,"")
    $ayourstring = StringSplit($yourstring,"")

    ;Loop the string and replace every character (if needed) ;). It is Case Sensitive
    For $i = 1 to $ayourstring[0]
        For $j = 1 to $aparam1[0]
            If $ayourstring[$i] == $aparam1[$j] Then
                $ayourstring[$i] = $aparam2[$j]
                ExitLoop
            EndIf
        Next
    Next

    ;Put replaced string array into a single string and return it
    Local $result = ""
    For $i = 1 to $ayourstring[0]
        $result &= $ayourstring[$i]
    Next
    Return $result
EndFunc ;==>_strtr

Edit: I forgot to cut $params to made them the same lenght. Script fixed.

Edit2: Added some comments and also a check to avoid an empty string.

But i dont want to replace a substring... but chars !!!

[JihanLukas]

Thanks....

I tried to use RegEx to do it, but found no solution...

Your function works...

Oh ok, well here's another way that returns the number of replacements too

Guess what It uses StringReplace()

Func _ReplaceCharsInString($sString, $sChars, $sReplaceChars)
    Local $iStringLen = StringLen($sString)
    Local $iCharsLen = StringLen($sChars)
    Local $iReplaceCharsLen = StringLen($sReplaceChars)
    Local $iReplacementsCount = 0
    If (($iStringLen + $iCharsLen) < 2) Then Return SetError(0, $iReplacementsCount, $sString)
    If $iCharsLen > $iReplaceCharsLen Then $sChars = StringLeft($sChars, $iReplaceCharsLen)
    For $i = 1 To StringLen($sChars)
        $sString = StringReplace($sString, StringMid($sChars, $i, 1), StringMid($sReplaceChars, $i, 1))
        $iReplacementsCount += @extended
    Next
    Return SetError(0, $iReplacementsCount, $sString)
EndFunc   ;==>_ReplaceCharsInString

MsgBox(64, "Demo 2", "_ReplaceCharsInString(""Example"", ""xame"", ""Xzty"")" & @CRLF & "Example=>" & _ReplaceCharsInString("Example", "xame", "Xzty") & @CRLF & "Number of replacements: " & @extended)

Hello smartee,

Just an issue with your function. It will replace characters over the modified string so it will return inaccurate results:

Following this example;

$string = "this is a Test"
$first = "tTieat"
$second = "Tt134"

$result = _ReplaceCharsInString($string, $first, $second)

It will return th1s 1s 4 t3st and it should be Th1s 1s 4 t3sT

[smartee]

I thought that was the behavior desired, well then i guess your function will be the way to go
