Hi,

Sth like this:

Function ReplaceSubStringInStringNoCase(OldSubString, NewSubString, InputString: String): String;

Var
  CharPos : Integer;
  LengthOldString     : Integer;
  UpperOldString     : String;
Begin
  Result := InputString;
  LengthOldString    := Length(OldSubString);
  UpperOldString    := UpperCase(OldSubString);
  While True Do
  Begin
    CharPos := Pos(UpperOldString,UpperCase(InputString));
    If Not (CharPos = 0) Then
    Begin
      Delete(InputString,CharPos,LengthOldString);
      Insert(NewSubString,InputString,CharPos);
    End
    Else
    Begin
      Break;
    End;
  End;
  Result := InputString;
End;

Call like this
ReplaceSubStringInStringNoCase('docs/docs/','docs/','http://www.domain.com/docs/docs/example.htm');

wich returns:

http://www.domain.com/docs/example.htm 

Need a few more examples really.

Could you have
http://www.domain.com/docs/docs_one/example.htm 
http://www.domain.com/docs_one/docs/example.htm 
http://www.domain.com/docs_one/docs_one/example.htm 
http://www.domain.com/docs_next/docs_temp/example.htm 

etc etc

ie. if they are not the same, which do you remove.

> The word will always be "docs" or will have "docs" in it somewhere

Does this also mean you could have

http://www.domain.com/mydocs/thisdocs/example.htm 

Hi,

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
Memo1.clear;
Memo1.lines.add(ReplaceSubStringInStringNoCase('docs/docs/','docs/','http://www.domain.com/docs/docs/example.htm'));
Memo1.lines.add(ReplaceSubStringInStringNoCase('docs/docs_one/','docs/','http://www.domain.com/docs/docs_one/example.htm'));
Memo1.lines.add(ReplaceSubStringInStringNoCase('docs_one/docs/','docs/','http://www.domain.com/docs_one/docs/example.htm'));
Memo1.lines.add(ReplaceSubStringInStringNoCase('docs_one/docs_one/','docs/','http://www.domain.com/docs_one/docs_one/example.htm'));
Memo1.lines.add(ReplaceSubStringInStringNoCase('docs_next/docs_temp/','docs/','http://www.domain.com/docs_next/docs_temp/example.htm'));
end;

gives always the same result whatever you use.

hi
this function cuts S1 from S2 no matter how many times s1 is repeated in s2:

function StringCutter(S1, S2 :string) : string;
begin

  while Ansipos(S1, s2) > 0 do
  begin
    ShowMessage(S2 + #13 + S1 + #13 + IntToStr(Ansipos(S1, s2)));
    s2 := Copy(s2, 0,AnsiPos(s1, s2) - 1)
            + Copy(s2, AnsiPos(s1, s2) + Length(s1) + 1,Length(s2));
  end;
  Result := s2;
end;

if u want to keep one s1 just change this

function StringCutter(S1, S2 :string) : string;
var i : integer;
begin
    i := Ansipos(S1, s2);
  while Ansipos(S1, s2) > 0 do
  begin
    s2 := Copy(s2, 0,AnsiPos(s1, s2) - 1)
    + Copy(s2, AnsiPos(s1, s2) + Length(s1) + 1,Length(s2));
  end;

  S2 := Copy(s2, 0,i - 1) + S1 + Copy(s2, i -Length(s1) + 1,Length(s2));
  Result := s2;
end;

Many thanks for your help to all of you - greatly appreciated.
