Stored procedures
Finds all the instances of a character string and replaces them with another string in a Document variable.
Example
MyDocument is Document
 
// Replace all "%CustomerName%" by the customer name
MyDocument.Replace("%CustomerLastName%", Customer.LastName)
MyDocument is Document
 
// Replace "Presentation" by "PRESENTATION"
MyDocument.Replace("Presentation", "PRESENTATION", WholeWord)
Syntax
<Document>.Replace(<Text to replace> , <Replacement text> [, <Options>])
<Document>: Document variable
Name of the Document variable to be used.
<Text to replace>: Character string
Text to find and to replace in the document. If this parameter corresponds to an empty string (""), the document will not be modified.
<Replacement text>: Character string
Character string that will replace <Text to replace>. If this parameter corresponds to an empty string (""), all the occurrences of <Text to replace> will be deleted
<Options>: Optional constant (or combination of constants)
Search options for the text to replace:
IgnoreCaseCase and accent insensitive search (ignores uppercase and lowercase differences).
WholeWordSearch for the whole word (enclosed in punctuation characters or in space characters).

By default, the search is case-sensitive: the searched text and the text to find must have the same case. To perform a case-insensitive search, use the IgnoreCase constant.
Caution: The replacement does not take into account the writing direction.
