replace string with spaces?

[direktor]

Hello,

I have another problem, how to pass the Space in string that I want to replace?

For example I want to find string 'this is just a test' and replace it with 'this is not a test'. Problem is Delphi will find only first word 'this' - everything after space is ignored. How do I make it find full string not that it stops at space? Or I'm using Delphi version which is too low? Should I use Unicode string compare?

'this is something else' - delphi will stop here because 'this' is contained here and 'is something else' it treats like it doesn't even exist because of space between

'this is just a test' - but I want to change this line of text down below, the whole text including spaces

How to do? StringReplace doesn't work.

Thanks.

Try this

Please give us a small test program that shows the error. Also mention the Delphi version you are using.

Uwe there is no error. Just doesn't work like it's suppose to. It can't replace text with spaces, only can replace the first word matched, anything after space is not replaced - as a result it replaces wrong string that begins with the same word but text after first space is different. I'm using Delphi 6, but I have Delphi XE8 also installed and can be used. Thanks.

Try this:

tmpstr.loadfromfile('index.html);
StringReplace(tmpstr.Text,'Electronics online shop','Electronic offline brick shop',[rfReplaceAll]);

This code will result in replacing every string that begins with word Electronics, because it can't handle spaces. I want to replace only exact string 'Electronics online shop' with spaces included.

StringReplace can handle spaces.
