Replace $string1 with $string2

[soulfly]

Hey guy's. I was searching here for the replacement function.
But I found nothing, or I was too stupid to mange the Search :X

My problem is very simple, I think.
I want to replace * with % in $value
I tried regsub -all but it didn't worked.

Thanky you for any help.

Code: Select all

regsub -all {\*} $value {%} value

Oh thx, I already solved by problem.
I used string map
But can u tell me wich is faster?

I have several options.
Once it should replace * and ' ' (space) by a % (for the sql query)

And other time it sould
searchfor '(', ')', '-', '.', '_'
replacew '', '', ' ', ' ', ' '

They are sorted as above + below.
Thx in future for any help

depends on length of string and cacheablitlity of the whole script. I'd say string map is about twice as fast. As longer the string and as more seldom it gets called cached (precompiled) as bigger will be the difference.
