Description
The STUFF() function returns a character string which is the result of replacing a string in <expC1> with <expC2>. The starting position for the replacement is <expN1>, and the number of characters to replace is <expN2>. It can also be used to remove text from a string.
Example
? stuff("Life is as you take it",9,13, "grea") Life is great ? stuff("Friends are welcome",9,7, "") Friends come
