TSE: StrReplace(): Usage of {} and |

[knud van eeden]

Hello,

Tested in TSE for Microsoft Windows 4.50.19

PROC Main()

 STRING fileNameS[255] = "25 April 2026"

 //

 fileNameS = StrReplace( "{Apr}|{April}", fileNameS, "4", "iwx" )

 Warn( fileNameS ) // gives still "25 April 2026"

 //

 fileNameS = StrReplace( "{April}", fileNameS, "4", "iwx" )

 Warn( fileNameS ) // gives "25 4 2026"

 //

 fileNameS = StrReplace( "April", fileNameS, "4", "iwx" )

 Warn( fileNameS ) // gives "25 4 2026"

 //

END

1. The first StrReplace() does not take place as it is not found and it returns still April and not 4.

2. Same search using LFind() works as expected and e.g. 'Apr' is found in the line using {Apr}|{April} and "iwx".

3. So can one not use curly brackets and or | out of the box?

Thanks

with friendly greetings

 Warn( fileNameS ) // gives "25 4 2026"

Very interesting.

So if you write the shorter name first, it is seen as part of the larger word, so not a word, so no hit.

with friendly greetings
