Golang String Replace
Golang package strings
provides Replace
and ReplaceAll
functions to replace the substring in the string.
Replace
Syntax
func Replace(s, old, new string, n int) string
n
is the number of first occurrence of the substring.
Replace n
first occurrence of the substring.
If n < 0
, then it will replace all the occurrence.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strings"
)
func main() {
str := "Th0is is an en0c0oded 0000 message"
newStr := strings.Replace(str, "0", "", 3)
fmt.Printf("Original String: %s\nAfter Replace: %s\n", str, newStr)
// n = -1
newStr = strings.Replace(str, "0", "", -1)
fmt.Printf("After Replace with -1: %s", newStr)
}
Output
Original String: Th0is is an en0c0oded 0000 message
After Replace: This is an encoded 0000 message
After Replace with -1: This is an encoded message
ReplaceAll
Syntax
func ReplaceAll(s, old, new string) string
str := "Th0is is an en0c0oded 0000 message"
newStr := strings.ReplaceAll(str, "0", "")
fmt.Printf("Original String: %s\nAfter Replace: %s\n", str, newStr)
Output
Original String: Th0is is an en0c0oded 0000 message
After Replace: This is an encoded message
Final Words
It was always suggested to use ReplaceAll
instead of Replace
with -1
. To support your -1
you might need to add a comment.
Keep the code self explanatory.
