changing part of a string


  • Subject: changing part of a string

Hi,

I have a path that I need to change slightly:

Example:

G5:bigfolder:2 color:myfolder:image1.eps  -- I need to change "2 color" only

G5:bigfolder:CMYK images:myfolder:image1.eps

How do I replace out just "2color" to "CMYK color" is it possible to search
and replace parts of a string or do I have to change my text item delimiters
to ":" and then replace out item 3 with the new text?

In my test scenario it will be always item 3 but is there a way to address
simply a specific section in an image path and replace that in a sort of
search and replace.

G5:bigfolder:2ndfolder:CMYK images:myfolder:image1.eps

I have about 10x20x30 paths to change so a script comes in handy. Any idea or
suggestions would be helpful.

Best, Patrik
