Hi,
I am hoping that this is quick and simple to answer. I want to replace
all occurrences of a substring in some string variable with another
substring. E.g. I want to replace "dis" with "reg" so that the old
variable has the values:
oldvar
dis14
batidis
leg_diszone
cont
and the new variable is
newvar
reg14
batireg
leg_regzone
cont
Using Nick's egenmore, this can be done for whole words using -msub-,
but how can this be done when the string to be replaced is not a whole
word?
Thanks,
tewodaj
