Search and edit sentence in text

[MechatheSlag]

Hi.

I've got this text where the sentence "function update()" appears several times. I can't figure out a way for this, but I want to search for every appearence of that sentence and change it to "function update1()", "function update2()" etc., for each time it appears.

Any help?

If it is in a text file or similar then you can use the Substring Replace object or String Parser 2. If its in an expression then you'll have to do it manually.

It's in a text file. I tried String Parser 2, but I can only get it to change all results of the sentence to ex "functio update1()" or "update2()" but not edit them to their appearence number.

It can be done with String Parser 2.

Try something like:

* Start of Frame
> String Parser: Set source string to <string>
> Start loop "rep" numberOfSub( "String Parser", "function update()")

* On loop "rep"
> String Parser: Set source string to
insert$( "String Parser", "function update"+Str$(LoopIndex("rep")+1)+"()", indexOfSub( "String Parser", "function update()", LoopIndex("rep")+1))

* Start of Frame
> String Parser: Set source string to remove$( "String Parser", "function update()")

String Parser will now hold the target string.
