REPLACEB(Old_Text, Start_Num, Num_Char, New_Text)
- where, Old_Text is the original or old text
- Start_Num represents the character position in old text
- Num_Char represents the number of characters to be replaced in old text
- New_Text is the new text with which specified number of characters in old text are replaced
REPLACEB() replaces a part of old text string with a new text string, based on the number of bytes specified.
Description
For Example, REPLACEB("JOHN",2,1,"$") returns J$HN
- This function counts and replaces specified number of byte characters with a new text string.
- REPLACEB is intended for languages that use double-byte character set (DBCS).
- If Start_Num < 1, Calci displays #N/A message.
- If Num_Char < 1, Calci displays #N/A message.
