Description

REPLACEARRAY(Array,Match,Replacement)

For Example,

REPLACEARRAY("WELCOME","L","***") returns WE***COME

In above example, original text is replaced with new text from 4th character to next 4 characters.

• $otext$ and $ntext$ should be enclosed in quotes.
• $snum$ and $noc$ should be positive numbers.
• If $snum$ and $noc$ are non-integers, they are truncated.
• If $snum$ > 'length of $otext$' , Calci assumes it to be '0'(zero) and new text is appended before old text.
• If any arguments are invalid, Calci displays an #ERROR message.
