PV REPLACE ONE


PV REPLACE ONE ( area ; string ; replace ; where ; contains {; column ; row} )

Parameter	Type	Description
area	Longint	4D View area
string	String	String to replace
replace	String	Replacement string
where	Integer	0 = Formulas; 1 = Values
contains	Integer	0 = Contains; 1 = Equals
column	Longint	Starting cell column number

row	Longint	Starting row column number

Description

The PV REPLACE ONE command replaces character string with replace in the first cell in area that corresponds to the query criteria defined using where or contains, starting from the cell set by column and row.

string specifies the character string to search and replace with replace.

where indicates which part of the spreadsheet to query:

0: Queries formulas
1: Queries values

contains defines the type of comparison:

0: Partial (contains the queried value)
1: Total (equal to the queried value)

If the column and row optional parameters are omitted, the search begins at the top left corner of the area. If column and row are passed, they indicate the cell of the area from which the search will begin.
The search is carried out from top to bottom and then from left to right beginning with the starting cell.

After execution of the command, the first cell found, if any, becomes the new current cell. If they were called, the column and row parameters will then contain the coordinates of this new cell.

If no cell was found during the search, the current cell remains unchanged.

Example

Replace the first occurrence of the current VAT rate with a new reference (new rate).

 C_LONGINT($Where) //0=Formula / 1=Value

 C_LONGINT($Contains) //0=Contains / 1=Equals

 

 $Where:=0 //Replacement formula

 $Contains:=0 //Contains

 

  //Replace first instance

 PV REPLACE ONE(Area;"$C$30";"$C$31";$Where;$Contains)
