DIYMicha Member Sep 19, 2020 #1 When I try to replace a substring that isn't present in the string, the function crashes with out of bounds exception. But should'nt it just do nothing, and return the original string, like in every other BASIC dialect? And speaking of other dialects, why isn't this function called .Replace like in other dialects? right now I have to combine the .Stuff function with a .InString function to check if the substring is contained...

' Clean url, replace mobile ".m." to regular desktop url End If Greetings Last edited: Sep 19, 2020
