Discussion

Replaces every occurrence of a substring in a character string with a replacement. If the replacement is omitted, the substring is replaced with NULL characters. A value N for the optional start_pos begins the replacement at the N th occurrence of the word. A value for the optional Occurrences specifies the maximum number of occurrences of Word to be replaced. Note : You can use STRWORDTRAN() with memo fields.

Example

strwordtran("partnership is the most important part of part of a successful relationship", "part", "element") -> "partnership is the most important element of element of a successful relationship"
STRTRAN("partnership is the most important part of part of a successful relationship", "part", "element") -> "elementnership is the most important element of element of a successful relationship"
strwordtran("She sells sea shell on the sea shore","sea","ocean", 2, 1) -> "She sells sea shell on the ocean shore"
