Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Syntax:  flagType Replace( char ch, COL x, LINE y, PFILE pfFile,
                             flagType fInsert );
 
  Returns: True if successful, otherwise false.

     The Replace function inserts or replaces characters one at a time.
 
     The character <ch> is the new character. It goes into the file
     specified by <pfFile> at column <x>, row <y>. If <fInsert> is
     FALSE, it replaces the character at the given position. If
     <fInsert> is TRUE, it is inserted at the given position.
 
     Replace is typically used in a loop to insert or replace sequences
     of characters. Alternatively, you can get a copy of a line with
     GetLine, modify the copy, and then replace the original line with
     PutLine.
