   String^ rule2 = "01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123";
   Console::WriteLine( rule1 );
   Console::WriteLine( rule2 );
   Console::WriteLine( "{0}", sbs );
   Console::WriteLine();
}

int main()
{
   
   //                  0----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4---

   String^ str = "The quick br!wn d#g jumps #ver the lazy cat.";
   StringBuilder^ sb = gcnew StringBuilder( str );
   Console::WriteLine();
   Console::WriteLine( "StringBuilder.Replace method" );
   Console::WriteLine();
   Console::WriteLine( "Original value:" );
   Show( sb );
   sb->Replace( '#', '!', 15, 29 ); // Some '#' -> '!'
   Show( sb );
   sb->Replace( '!', 'o' ); // All '!' -> 'o'
   Show( sb );
   sb->Replace( "cat", "dog" ); // All "cat" -> "dog"
   Show( sb );
   sb->Replace( "dog", "fox", 15, 20 ); // Some "dog" -> "fox"
   Console::WriteLine( "Final value:" );
   Show( sb );

Replace(Char, Char)

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Replaces all occurrences of a specified character in this instance with another specified character.

public:
 System::Text::StringBuilder ^ Replace(char oldChar, char newChar);

public System.Text.StringBuilder Replace (char oldChar, char newChar);

member this.Replace : char * char -> System.Text.StringBuilder

Public Function Replace (oldChar As Char, newChar As Char) As StringBuilder

Parameters

oldChar: Char

The character to replace.

newChar: Char

The character that replaces oldChar.

Returns

StringBuilder

A reference to this instance with oldChar replaced by newChar.

Remarks

This method performs an ordinal, case-sensitive comparison to identify occurrences of oldChar in the current instance. The size of the current StringBuilder instance is unchanged after the replacement.

Applies to

Replace(ReadOnlySpan<Char>, ReadOnlySpan<Char>)

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Replaces all instances of one read-only character span with another in this builder.

public:
 System::Text::StringBuilder ^ Replace(ReadOnlySpan<char> oldValue, ReadOnlySpan<char> newValue);

public System.Text.StringBuilder Replace (ReadOnlySpan<char> oldValue, ReadOnlySpan<char> newValue);

member this.Replace : ReadOnlySpan<char> * ReadOnlySpan<char> -> System.Text.StringBuilder

Public Function Replace (oldValue As ReadOnlySpan(Of Char), newValue As ReadOnlySpan(Of Char)) As StringBuilder

Parameters

oldValue: ReadOnlySpan<Char>

The read-only character span to replace.

newValue: ReadOnlySpan<Char>

The read-only character span to replace oldValue with.

Returns

StringBuilder

A reference to this instance with oldChar replaced by newChar.

Remarks

If newValue is empty, instances of oldValue are removed from this builder.

Applies to

Replace(String, String)

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Replaces all occurrences of a specified string in this instance with another specified string.

public:
 System::Text::StringBuilder ^ Replace(System::String ^ oldValue, System::String ^ newValue);

public System.Text.StringBuilder Replace (string oldValue, string newValue);

public System.Text.StringBuilder Replace (string oldValue, string? newValue);

member this.Replace : string * string -> System.Text.StringBuilder

Public Function Replace (oldValue As String, newValue As String) As StringBuilder

Parameters

oldValue: String

The string to replace.

newValue: String

The string that replaces oldValue, or null.

Returns

StringBuilder

A reference to this instance with all instances of oldValue replaced by newValue.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

oldValue is null.

ArgumentException

The length of oldValue is zero.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

Enlarging the value of this instance would exceed MaxCapacity.

Remarks

This method performs an ordinal, case-sensitive comparison to identify occurrences of oldValue in the current instance. If newValue is null or String.Empty, all occurrences of oldValue are removed.

Applies to

Replace(Char, Char, Int32, Int32)

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Replaces, within a substring of this instance, all occurrences of a specified character with another specified character.

public:
 System::Text::StringBuilder ^ Replace(char oldChar, char newChar, int startIndex, int count);

public System.Text.StringBuilder Replace (char oldChar, char newChar, int startIndex, int count);

member this.Replace : char * char * int * int -> System.Text.StringBuilder

Public Function Replace (oldChar As Char, newChar As Char, startIndex As Integer, count As Integer) As StringBuilder

Parameters

oldChar: Char

The character to replace.

newChar: Char

The character that replaces oldChar.

startIndex: Int32

The position in this instance where the substring begins.

count: Int32

Returns

StringBuilder

A reference to this instance with oldChar replaced by newChar in the range from startIndex to startIndex + count -1.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

startIndex + count is greater than the length of the value of this instance.

-or-

startIndex or count is less than zero.

Remarks

This method performs an ordinal, case-sensitive comparison to identify occurrences of oldChar in the current instance. The size of the current StringBuilder object is unchanged after the replacement.

Applies to

Replace(ReadOnlySpan<Char>, ReadOnlySpan<Char>, Int32, Int32)

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Replaces all instances of one read-only character span with another in part of this builder.

public:
 System::Text::StringBuilder ^ Replace(ReadOnlySpan<char> oldValue, ReadOnlySpan<char> newValue, int startIndex, int count);

member this.Replace : ReadOnlySpan<char> * ReadOnlySpan<char> * int * int -> System.Text.StringBuilder

Public Function Replace (oldValue As ReadOnlySpan(Of Char), newValue As ReadOnlySpan(Of Char), startIndex As Integer, count As Integer) As StringBuilder

Parameters

oldValue: ReadOnlySpan<Char>

The read-only character span to replace.

newValue: ReadOnlySpan<Char>

The read-only character span to replace oldValue with.

startIndex: Int32

The index to start in this builder.

count: Int32

The number of characters to read in this builder.

Returns

StringBuilder

A reference to this instance with oldChar replaced by newChar.

Remarks

If newValue is empty, instances of oldValue are removed from this builder.

Applies to

Replace(String, String, Int32, Int32)

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

public System.Text.StringBuilder Replace (string oldValue, string? newValue, int startIndex, int count);

member this.Replace : string * string * int * int -> System.Text.StringBuilder

Public Function Replace (oldValue As String, newValue As String, startIndex As Integer, count As Integer) As StringBuilder

Parameters

oldValue: String

The string to replace.

newValue: String

The string that replaces oldValue, or null.

startIndex: Int32

The position in this instance where the substring begins.

count: Int32

The length of the substring.

Returns

StringBuilder

A reference to this instance with all instances of oldValue replaced by newValue in the range from startIndex to startIndex + count - 1.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

oldValue is null.

ArgumentException

The length of oldValue is zero.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

startIndex or count is less than zero.

-or-

startIndex plus count indicates a character position not within this instance.

-or-

Enlarging the value of this instance would exceed MaxCapacity.

Remarks

This method performs an ordinal, case-sensitive comparison to identify occurrences of oldValue in the specified substring. If newValue is null or String.Empty, all occurrences of oldValue are removed.
