Re: Function "replace" for strings?

[LukasP <LP...@po...>]

Hello,

agree with that gnuplot is highly capable plot processor and it is its
primary purpose.

But gnuplot provides some programming functionality and some string
functions for it - strlen, strstrt, substr etc. - so I think one function
for doing string replacements would be useful. And I mean simple
string-for-string replacement, not wild char matching or regexs (e.g.
strrepl("abcd", "bc", "+BC+") -> "a+BC+d").

As for your link for the similar question - I know there are possibilities
how to solve problem - I can still pass more arguments to gnuplot where one
contains string with "\"s and the other with "/"s; and these args are
prepared by another program. But I'd rather pass only one argument which
would be processed later in gnuplot; it seems to me simpler and a bit more
elegant.
