A way to reset/remove pattern from Substring Replace Auto Replace

[iOSC]

I already posted this in the MMF forum, but I guess it'll be better to post it here.
(You can remove the other one if it's a problem)

So all is in the title -
Is there a way to reset/remove pattern from the Substring Replace's Auto-Replace, similar with StringParser Reset delimiters....?

It looks like I forgot about that feature, sorry.

(Also I seem to have totally forgotten what I meant by a 'macro'! Edit: Oh I see they are strings which are replaced, but the things they are replaced with are again potentially replaced. Totally forgot about that.)

Thanks for your post Jax (and for your object of course!)
I don't know if you still support this extension, but if so, do you think it'd be possible to add this function (for now, I have to destroy and create again the substring replace object in order to reset patterns, but this is not a solution at all, and I guess it'll occur crashes in my project in some ways...)

Let me know.
Thx

It should be easy to add, but the problem is I don't have the correct C++ compilers on my current computer. It'd probably be worth doing, I'll look into it, but it might take a little while to do.

Alternatively the object has two modes of operation: you can either tell us all the patterns to replace and it'll do that, or there is an expression that just does a simple replace-one-substring-with-another, without any appeal to that internal list.

yes I know, but for what I need, the auto-replace functionality is just a REAL gain of time.
i'll wait for it so... hopefully it won't take too long since it'll help me to go forward in my project.

Hi iOSC,

I added that feature (this was my earliest opportunity): https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&p...ThjNzg0NjE3YTM

Could you tell me if it works for you?

Note the extension is not in general Unicode, and in Unicode MMF (inc. MMF2.5) the global string and array features don't work. Global values do though. I won't fix this.

Hi Jax - I'm a little busy these days, but I'll take a look.
Do you mean it's not testable on F2.5 ??? Because I didn't have MMF2 installed anymore - Let me know.
Thanks for you work btw !

[Jax]

It works and is testable on F2.5 except for the global strings and array functions. General replacements and replacements with a global value still work fine (or at least should do). See the blog post I wrote it (link in sig)
