@stdlib/string-base-replace-after-last v0.1.0

replaceAfterLast

Replace the substring after the last occurrence of a specified search string.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/string-base-replace-after-last

Usage

var replaceAfterLast = require( '@stdlib/string-base-replace-after-last' );

replaceAfterLast( str, search, replacement, fromIndex )

Replaces the substring after the last occurrence of a specified search string.

var str = 'beep boop';
var out = replaceAfterLast( str, ' ', 'loop', str.length );
// returns 'beep loop'

out = replaceAfterLast( str, 'o', 'bar', str.length );
// returns 'beep boobar'

To begin searching from a specific index, provide a corresponding fromIndex argument.

var out = replaceAfterLast( 'beep boop beep', ' ', 'loop', 6 );
// returns 'beep loop'

If fromIndex is less than zero, the starting index is resolved relative to the last string character, with the last string character corresponding to fromIndex = -1.

var out = replaceAfterLast( 'beep boop beep', ' ', 'loop', -1 );
// returns 'beep boop loop'

Notes

• If a search string is not present in a provided string, the function returns the provided string unchanged.
• If a search string is an empty string, the function returns the provided string unchanged.
• If fromIndex resolves to an index which is less than 0, the function returns the provided string unchanged.

Examples

var replaceAfterLast = require( '@stdlib/string-base-replace-after-last' );

var str = 'beep boop';
var out = replaceAfterLast( str, 'p', 'see', str.length );
// returns 'beep boopsee'

str = 'Hello World!';
out = replaceAfterLast( str, 'xyz', 'foo', str.length );
// returns 'Hello World!'

str = 'Hello World!';
out = replaceAfterLast( str, '', 'foo', str.length );
// returns 'Hello World!'

str = '';
out = replaceAfterLast( str, 'xyz', 'foo', str.length );
// returns ''

str = 'beep boop beep baz';
out = replaceAfterLast( str, 'beep', 'foo', 5 );
// return 'beepfoo'
