# StringReplace

Replace occurrences of one substring with another in a string.

## Declaration

Source position: sysstrh.inc line 248

`function StringReplace(`
`const S: string;`
`const OldPattern: string;`
`const NewPattern: string;`
`Flags: TReplaceFlags;`
`out aCount: Integer`
`):string; function StringReplace(`
`const S: string;`
`const OldPattern: string;`
`const NewPattern: string;`
`Flags: TReplaceFlags`
`):string;`

## Description

StringReplace searches the string S for occurrences of the string OldPattern and, if it is found, replaces it with NewPattern. It returns the resulting string. The behaviour of StringReplace can be tuned with Flags, which is of type TReplaceFlags. Standard behaviour is to replace only the first occurrence of OldPattern, and to search case sensitively.

## Errors

None.
