Need Help with String Parser and Strings

[CBSection31]

Hi everyone,

I could use some help. I am trying to design a way to dynamically replace a part of the text of a string object that is compatible with iOS, Android, and HTML5.

Let me give you an example. Let's say I have an INI file as follows:

[Text]
Line=The culpret is *person*.
person=John

What I want is to have a string object display the line, "The culpret is John."

This would be easy if I am only using a single string, because I could use the String Parser object to replace the substring "*person*" with Str$(GroupItemValue("INI Object", "Text", "number")). However, I want to be able to dynamically use any string I define (as there will be hundreds), without having to specify each string as a separate condition in Fusion itself.

I think that this will involve somehow using the String Parser object to search for any word within asterisks and replace its contents of that with the string defined in the INI file that has the same name. The problem is, I'm not sure how to set this up, or whether it is even possible.

I'm hoping that someone with some more knowledge could assist me.

Thank you for your time and help. If you have any questions or need clarification, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks again!

I've made you an example that uses fastloops and the Mid$() function. I tried to explain the process, but it was easier to just make an example
