Purpose
Function to search for and replace text within a character string or memo field
Syntax
STRTRAN(<expC1> | <memofield>, <expC2> [, <expC3> [, <expN1> [, <expN2> [, <expN3>]]]])
See Also

Description
The STRTRAN() function will search <expC1> or <memofield> and replace <expC2> with <expC3>.
This function can also be used to remove blank spaces in character strings. The STRTRAN() function returns a character expression that contains the result of the string translation.
| Parameters | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <expC1> | <memofield> | Yes | The character expression or memo field to search. |
| <expC2> | Yes | The character expression to replace. |
| <expC3> | No | The replacement character expression. If <expC3> is not specified, occurrences of <expC2> are removed. |
| <expN1> | No | The start occurrence of <expC2> in <expC1> to replace. If <expN1> is not specified then the replacement starts from the first (1) occurrence of <expC2>. |
| <expN2> | No | The number of occurrences of <expC2> to replace with <expC3>. If <expN2> is not specified, then all occurrences starting from <expN1> are replaced. |
| <expN3> | No | Flag: 0 or -1 = Search is case-sensitive and <expC2> is replaced with <expC3>. (Default) 1 = Search is case-insensitive and <expC2> is replaced with <expC3>. 2 = Same as 0. 3 = Same as 1. |
Example
? strtran("Hello World", "ello", "i",1,1,1) Hi World
