object.
Replace
(String1, String2)
The
Replace
method is used to replace text in a regular expression search. It can only be used with a
RegExp
object variable.
Do not confuse this method with the
Replace
function.
The search string pattern is declared using the
Pattern
property. You can use the
Global
property to limit the search to the first occurrence of a match, or all occurrences.
There are two mandatory arguments. If the search string pattern is found in one or more occurrences inside the string designated by the
String1
argument, then, as set by the
Global
property, the first or all occurrences of the search string pattern will be replaced with the
String2
argument.
Code:
<%
Dim RegX
Set RegX = NEW RegExp
Dim MyString, SearchPattern, ReplacedText
MyString = "Ocelots make good pets."
SearchPattern = "good"
ReplaceString = "bad"
RegX.Pattern = SearchPattern
RegX.Global = True
ReplacedText = RegX.Replace(MyString, ReplaceString)
Response.Write(ReplacedText)
%>
Output:
"Ocelots make bad pets."
