Replace last space with character

sharon95

Hi all, I would like to replace the last space of a string and put a new character. eg: from "Test something 1" to "Test something, 1"... I tried with some convertstr, delchr functions but nothing worked.. any idea? Thank you...

ok, I'm done with that, the last doubt is how can I replace a part of a string?
e.g.
String -> hello world
search -> wo
replace with -> WO
result -> hello WOrld

Generally no way. CONVERSTR converts all occurence of fromchars to tochars (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/convertstr-function--code--text-)

You can do this using a dotnet string. Create a new variable of type System.String from mscorlib...

'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.System.String

...then use the Replace method...

MyDotNetString := ‘hello world’;
MyDotNetString := MyDotNetString.Replace(‘wo’,’WO’);

there is no function such, in this case I think You need to make Your own function
can be like this

LastSpacePos(Tstr : Text[30]) SpacePos : Integer
SpacePos:=STRPOS(Tstr,' ');
IF SpacePos = 0 THEN EXIT(0);
Tstr:=COPYSTR(Tstr,SpacePos+1,30);
WHILE STRPOS(Tstr,' ')>0 DO BEGIN
SpacePos:=SpacePos+STRPOS(Tstr,' ');
Tstr:=COPYSTR(Tstr,STRPOS(Tstr,' ')+1,30);
END;

so if there are no spaces in Tstr then return 0 like STRPOS (built-in function)

You can add also a second parameter that will find any character and return last position in string
