( replace [ ] by [ ] in [ ] ) 》operator

superscratch444tre

Hello everybody! I have a helpful suggestion for scratch. As you probably read in the title, it would be an operator that replaces characters. It would be something like this:

(replace all[]with[]in[]::operators)

and an:

(replace #()instance of[]with[]in[]::operators)

Example:

(replace all[po]with[pe]in[typo]::operators)//The value would be equal to "type".
(replace all[p]with[m]in[pind]::operators)//The value would be equal to "mind".
(replace all[i]with[9]in[car]::operators)//The value would be equal to "car".
(replace all[i]with[]in[hellio]::operators)//The value would be equal to "hello".
(replace all[9]with[llo]in[he9]::operators)//The value would be equal to "hello".
(replace all[8]with[l]in[he88o]::operators)//The value would be equal to "hello".
(replace #(1)instance of[w]with[o]in[hellw world]::operators)//The value would be equal to "hello world".

Please support if you would like it!!

What happens in these occasions?

replace [d] by [i] in [bag] :: operators reporter
replace [h] by [p] in [pappy] :: operators reporter

1. Returns bag.

2. Returns hahhy.

how about

(replace[]with[]in[]::operators)

so it's easier to understand

Yes, true.

i guess
but can you delete characters by replacing with nothing?

(replace[e]with[]in[typoe]::operators)

(returns typo - ?)

could you add characters?

(replace[g]with[po]in[tyg]::operators)

(returns typo - ?)

could you replace multiple characters?

(replace[op]with[po]in[tyop]::operators)

(returns typo - ?)

what if i only want to replace the first or second or third or so on instance of a substring in a string?
can there be this block?

(replace #(1)instance of[w]with[o]in[hellw world]::operators)

(returns hello world - ?)

This seems confusing. Could you please explain?

it replace first thing with second thing in the third thing

e.g.

(replace [,] with [.] in [7,6 billion] :: operators) // useful for european numbers

Support, but not the instance #. How about, by default, it only does the first instance and you can add a loop to keep doing it:

when green flag clicked
set [temp v] to []
set [string v] to [elemental]
repeat until <(temp) = (string)>
set [temp v] to (string)
set [string v] to (replace [e] with [a] in (string) :: operators)
end

I'd wait for custom reporters to do that workaround

Support. This would make it a lot easier to make decoders, at least for me. Also, I think it should be a block. Or both.

replace (text) with <(abc_list) = (pick random (1) to (36))> in (text) ::operators

Or..

(replace (text) with <(abc_list) = (pick random (1) to (36))> in (text) ::operators)
<(text)= [Support.]>

Support as once I had to replace a word in a list of 360 length.

TheElementGuy

lots of support

vudeptrai090211

support, this could be useful in a game.
example:

(replace [0] with [1] in [000]::operators)

question: but what if i want to set that number to 010?

(replace [d] with [t] in [dotge]::operators)

It would be -

(replace [t] with [d] in [dotge]::operators)

(replace [] with [] in [tat]::operators)
