Maybe there's already an easy way to do this but I haven't found it. I'd like to be able to change characters in a string simply. It would be something like this:

PHP Code:
MYSTRING:="1234567890";
MYSTRING(4,4):="X";
PRINT(
MYSTRING); 

which prints 123X567890

Right now, I'm doing this:

PHP Code:
MYSTRING:="1234567890";
MYSTRING:=LEFT(MYSTRING,3)+"X"+MID(MYSTRING,5);
PRINT(
MYSTRING); 

which works but is inelegant.

REPLACE("1234567890",4,"XXX")

Hello,

Not sure exactly what you want to do, but you can also do:
mystring(4):= "abc" to place abc starting at pos 4 in the string...
