Hi all,
in writing my response to Mark Leeds' recent question about replacing
text at the end of a string, I was moved to wonder if it wouldn't it
be handy if the replace method of string instances did one of the
following:
took a negative integer for count and interpreted that as replace the
absolute value of count many instance, but starting from the end of
the string, or,
had a default parameter from_end=False, such that if it were True,
replacements happened count many times, starting from the end?
I get that it isn't too much of a hassle to write a function to do
this (heck, *I* did it, so it cannot be too rough ;-). But, it seems a
common enough task to be a useful addition nevertheless. (And the
speed of the C implementation wouldn't hurt, either.)
Is there already a pre-rolled way to do this that I've overlooked? Or
some strong reason there oughtn't be?
Thanks, and best to all,
Brian vdB

1)
I have a string function that works perfectly but according to W3C.org
web site is syntactically flawed because it contains the characters </
in sequence. So how am I supposed to write this function?
String.replace(/</g,'<');

I've searched through the previous posts and there seems to be a few
examples of search and replacing all occurrances of a string with
another string.
I would have thought that the code below would work...

Hi Newsgroup,
I have given an answer in this newsgroup about a "Replace".
There came an answer on that I did not understand, so I have done some
tests.
I got the idea that someone said, that the split method and the
regex.replace method was better than the string.replace method and replace
function. I did not believe that.

I was trying to use back-to-back replace functions to convert a url:

It didn't replace all 4 types of strings.
Then, I googled and found this suggestion of some JavaScript Tutorials,

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
