Hi,

is there a comfortable way to replace Placeholder like %ID% in Files or Strings ?
Im saerching for something like:

szPlaceholder = "%ID";
nID= "12";
ReplaceString(szOriginalString, szPlaceholder, szIDString);

is there a function like this in InstallScript?

Thank You !

FFNB,
InstallShield has Sprintf(), although it's not advertised in their String function list. Search help.
Before I knew this I wrote my own ReplaceString(...) function using StrGetTokens() and other InstallShield string functions.

Hi,

maybe the same thing i did?

Load file in List_1
Get first Element from List_1 and tokenized in List_2
Replace the Placeholder element in List_2
Merge the Elements from List_2 into one String
Write this String back to the right place in List_1
and so on... :-(
Write List_1 back to file...

Thank you, and now i will try the Sprintf() function.
