StringReplace
I have compiled a Delphi package which references the function StringReplace.
I get a compile time error of 'undeclared identifier'. I know that StringReplace is a standard Delphi function but i cannot seem to find it, nor does the Delphi help have any reference to it. Could anyone tell me which unit StringReplace is in ?. I am using Delphi 3.02 Professional.
P.S I have a copy of C++ Builder 4 which has the 'StringReplace' function in the SysUtils file. Is it possible to call this from a Delphi application?.
Thanks Paul.

According to help it resides in SysUtils.
Yes... Actually it resides in all versions in SysUtils.pas
here ya go, from the help files:
--------------------------
Returns a string with occurrences of one substring replaced by another substring.
Unit
Sysutils
Category
string handling routines
type
TReplaceFlags = set of (rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase);
function StringReplace(const S, OldPattern, NewPattern: string; Flags: TReplaceFlags): string;
Description
StringReplace replaces occurrences of the substring specified by OldPattern with the substring specified by NewPattern. StringReplace assumes that the source string, specified by S, may contain Multibyte characters.
If the Flags parameter does not include rfReplaceAll, StringReplace only replaces the first occurrence of OldPattern in S. Otherwise, all instances of OldPattern are replaced by NewPattern.
If the Flags parameter includes rfIgnoreCase, The comparison operation is case insensitive.

Hi pr_wainwright,
Seems easy solve your problem.
If you're using CBuilder then open then source file header,
example : Unit1.cpp-->Unit1.hpp and put the follow line
<#include SysUtils.hpp>
Now any reference to StringReplace at Unit1 is fixed.
Now if you're Using Delphi 3.02 locate the "uses" clause of each unit that make reference ot StringReplace and add
SysUtils at the end of the line. like this
uses
..., Windows, ...., SysUtils;
T++, Radler.

Thanks, Delphi 3.02 does not have the ReplaceString function in it's SysUtils.pas file. This alternative worked fine.
