string replace

[scialom]

Hi,

I have this string:
abcd /n abcd /

I want to replace only the first /n with "|"

how do I do it?

Do the following:

$somestring = "abcd /n abcd / ";

$somestring = substr_replace ($somestring, "|", 5, 0);

That should work, if it doesn't check the documentation here http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr-replace.php
Good luck.

No, that's not good because the /n isn't always going to be 5 characters into the string. Do it like this:

$somestring = "abcd /n abcd /n "; 

$somestring = substr_replace ($somestring, "|", strpos ($somestring, "/n"), 2);

PS, you do know that a newline is \n rather than /n, right?
