StrSetElement sets the value of a specified element in a string source that contains a series of elements separated by a delimiter character.

Syntax

StrSetElement(strSource, strDelimiter, numElementNumber, strValue)

strSource

The source string.

strDelimiter

Char used as delimiter between the elements in strSource.

numElementNumber

Number of the element which will be returned by the function. The first element has the number 1. The second element has the number 2, and so forth.

strValue

The new value to be written at the specified element number. If there is an existing value, it will be overwritten by the new value.

Return value

Examples

Start a new string of elements by concatenating the source string and the new value (returns TEXT|abcd):

StrSetElement("TEXT","|",2,"abcd")

Insert the new value into an empty element (returns TEXT|abcd|efgh|):

StrSetElement("TEXT|abcd||","|",3,"efgh")

Overwrite an existing value with the new value (returns TEXT|abcd|5678|ijkl):

StrSetElement("TEXT|abcd|efgh|ijkl","|",3,"5678")
