Details
Substitute allows you to replace text at a series of predetermined points in a string, identified by &1 to &9.
If two ampersands appear together in a string, they are reduced to a single ampersand and not considered for substitution.
Example
In this example, *MtxtCust01 is a multilingual variable containing the following "&1 &2 has a limit of $&3".
#Givename, #Surname and #Limit have values of "Veronica", "Brown" and "2000" respectively.
The result at run-time would be, "Veronica Brown has a limit of $2000"
#Com_owner.caption := *MtxtCust01.Substitute(#Givename #Surname #Limit.AsString)
In this example, #string will equal "a&2"
#string := ("&1&&2").Substitute( "a " "b " )
