Public Function Replace (Expression As String, Find As String, Replacement As String, Optional Start As Integer = 1, Optional Count As Integer = -1, Optional Compare As CompareMethod = Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompareMethod.Binary) As String

Parameters

Expression: String

Required. String expression containing substring to replace.

Find: String

Required. Substring being searched for.

Replacement: String

Required. Replacement substring.

Start: Int32

Optional. Position within Expression that starts a substring used for replacement. The return value of Replace is a string that begins at Start, with appropriate substitutions. If omitted, 1 is assumed.

Count: Int32

Optional. Number of substring substitutions to perform. If omitted, the default value is -1, which means "make all possible substitutions."

One of the following values.

If	Replace returns
`Find` is zero-length or `Nothing`	Copy of `Expression`
`Replace` is zero-length	Copy of `Expression` with no occurrences of `Find`
`Expression` is zero-length or `Nothing`, or `Start` is greater than length of `Expression`	`Nothing`
`Count` is 0	Copy of `Expression`
