Talk:LlReplaceSubString

About time!

It's not rolled out fully yet. You can start using it in your code already now though, using Firestom's conditional compiles:

#define no577942

#ifdef no577942
string llReplaceSubString(string str, string search, string replace, integer count) {
    return llDumpList2String(llParseStringKeepNulls((str = "") + str, [search], []), replace);
}
#endif

Once it's rolled out in your region, simply remove the #define statement.

@Peter Stindberg, I had no idea this took 20 years to be implemented! I just learned his week that it existed, by 'naturally' using it — I cannot even remember what we used before this! — Gwyneth Llewelyn (talk) 14:41, 5 January 2025 (PST)

You still find code galore - even on this wiki - that uses user-defined functions for this. I have changed a few occurances, but there are certainly more. The Linden Lab implementation goes nicely beyond the most popular udf by providing the count variable, which is VERY useful!
