Simple tool to replace a string or character in Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Ever got a task to replace a string or character in a string in Microsoft Dynamics NAV but unable to find the simplest solution for this problem.

Don't worry I have a simple solution for this task.

I have created a Codeunit which you can find below:


OBJECT Codeunit 50003 String Replaced
{
  OBJECT-PROPERTIES
  {
    Date=03-08-18;
    Time=12:10:48 PM;
    Modified=Yes;
    Version List=;
  }
  PROPERTIES
  {
    OnRun=BEGIN
            OldStringG    := 'OldString';
            ReplaceWithG  := 'New';
            SearchStringG := 'Old';

            NewStringG := ReplaceString(OldStringG,SearchStringG,ReplaceWithG);
            MESSAGE(OldStringG);
            MESSAGE(NewStringG);
          END;

  }
  CODE
  {
    VAR
      OldStringG@1000000001 : Text[250];
      SearchStringG@1000000002 : Text[250];
      ReplaceWithG@1000000003 : Text[250];
      NewStringG@1000000000 : Text[250];

    PROCEDURE ReplaceString@1000000007(OldStringP@1000000000 : Text[250];SearchStringP@1000000001 : Text[250];ReplaceWithP@1000000002 : Text[250]) NewStringL : Text[250];
    BEGIN

      NewStringL:= DELSTR(OldStringP,STRPOS(OldStringG,SearchStringP)) + ReplaceWithP + COPYSTR(OldStringP,STRPOS(OldStringP,SearchStringP) + STRLEN(SearchStringP));
    END;

    BEGIN
    END.
  }
}


You can modify this code according to your needs to make it suitable for your requirements.
