Bug? Error when using StringFunctions ".Stuff" function

[DIYMicha]

When I try to replace a substring that isn't present in the string, the function crashes with out of bounds exception.

But should'nt it just do nothing, and return the original string, like in every other BASIC dialect? And speaking of other dialects, why isn't this function called .Replace like in other dialects?

right now I have to combine the .Stuff function with a .InString function to check if the substring is contained...

    WikiUrl=InputWiki.Text
        If sf.InString(WikiUrl,".m.")>-1 Then
            WikiUrl = sf.Stuff(WikiUrl,".",".m.")        ' Clean url, replace mobile ".m." to regular desktop url
        End If

Greetings

Don't use this library. It is not needed and not maintained for many years now. The built-in string methods include everything you need.

String

B4A - Core

Replace (Target As String, Replacement As String) As String
Returns a new string resulting from the replacement of all the occurrences of Target with Replacement.
