I would love to be able to use strreplace in Houdini 7. I know it is in 8, but is there a way to get the function and custom install it into houdini 7?

could you use “opchange” in the mean time?



OT : hey Kevin! how's things? your OTLs are still mailing people here LOL

Antoine Durr at R+H wrote one as a custom expression. His is really tricky, you have to escape things (if you want to match spaces or punctuation) and stuff that I've forgotton. I'm not sure if he reads this…

Nah, not that complicated. That was another function that backslashed all the quotes!

Here's a simple strreplace:

string strreplace(string srcstr; string replace; string with)
{
float i = -1;
string left = “”;
string right = srcstr;

i = index(right, replace);
while (i >= 0) {

left = left + substr(right, 0, i) + with;
right = substr(right, i+strlen(replace), 999);

i = index(right, replace);
}

return left+right;
}
