SyntaxFUNCTION ChrTran( cSearchIn AS STRING, cSearchFor AS STRING, cReplaceWith AS STRING ) AS STRING
Parameters
- cSearchIn
- Type: String
Specifies the expression in which ChrTran() replaces characters. - cSearchFor
- Type: String
Specifies the expression containing the characters ChrTran() looks for in cSearchIn. - cReplaceWith
- Type: String
Specifies the expression containing the replacement characters. If a character in cSearchFor is found in cSearchIn, the character in cSearchIn is replaced by a character from cReplaceWith that's in the same position in cReplaceWith as the respective character in cSearchFor. If cReplaceWith has fewer characters than cSearchFor, the additional characters in cSearchIn are deleted from cSearchIn. If cReplaceWith has more characters than cSearchFor, the additional characters in cReplacementExpression are ignored.
Return Value
Type: StringCharacter
Remarks
The difference between ChrTranC() and ChrTran() can be ignored in X# because all characters are unicode,
so there is no distinction between single byte and double-byte characters.

1? ChrTran('ABCDEF', 'ACE', 'XYZ') // Displays XBYDZF 2? ChrTran('ABCD', 'ABC', 'YZ') // Displays YZD 3? ChrTran('ABCDEF', 'ACE', 'XYZQRST') // Displays XBYDZF
