delphi replace string in text code example

Example 1: delphi replace string

newString := StringReplace(<currentString>, <stringToReplace>, <newString>,
   [rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]);

Example 2: delphi string replace

You have misunderstood the documentation. If the act of replacing an instance of the search string with the replacement happens to create another instance of the search string, it is not searched again. The search continues from the end of the replacement text.

The function searches for all instances of the target string in the input string S. The input string is not modified. To get the output you expected, it would have to search for instances of the target string in the result, not just in the input.

Imagine if the search and replacement strings were identical. The function might never return because each time it found its target and replaced it, it would find yet another copy of the target text.
