STRTRANS
Translate all occurences of one substring to another.
text/strings
new = strtrans(oldstr,from,to,ned)
oldstr -- string on which to operate. in May be an array. from -- substrings to be translated. May be in an array. to -- what strings in from should be in translated to. May be an array.
/HELP -- Set this to print useful message and exit.
new -- Translated string. Array if oldstr is out an array. ned -- number of substitutions performed in out oldstr. Array if oldstr is an array.
- Any of old, from, and to can be arrays. - from and to must have the same number of elements.
inp='Many*bad!chars+in_here' from=['*','!','+','_'] to =[' ',' ',' ',' '] out = strtrans(inp,from,to,ned) Will produce out='Many bad chars in here', and set ned to 4.
$Id: strtrans.pro,v 1.7 2004/06/15 17:25:54 mcraig Exp $ $Log: strtrans.pro,v $ Revision 1.7 2004/06/15 17:25:54 mcraig Fixed bug in regular expression, changed array notation to square brackets Revision 1.6 2004/01/11 01:49:00 mcraig Changed format of one array to newer [] style to avoidf conflict with function name in astro library. Revision 1.5 2001/11/23 21:14:35 mcraig Added keywords /EXTRACT, /PRESERVE_NULL, /REGEX to call to strsplit. This comes very close to reproducing the behavior of the obsolete routine str_sep. Revision 1.4 2001/11/21 19:13:23 mcraig Changed str_sep to strsplit. The former is now considered obsolete by RSI. Revision 1.3 1996/06/14 20:00:27 mcraig Updated Copyright info. Revision 1.2 1996/05/09 00:22:17 mcraig Sped up significantly by using str_sep to handle the translation. No longer relies on routines fromother user libraries. Revision 1.1 1996/01/31 18:47:37 mcraig Initial revision
