Replace With

Description

a-á

a

á

Every instance of ‘a’ will be replaced with ‘á’

B-B豪

B

B豪

Every instance of ‘B’ will be replaced with ‘B豪’.  This adds a Chinese character to your string, while maintaining the readability of the original string. E.g.  “Build” becomes “B豪uild”.

T-Text

T

Text

Every instance of ‘T’ becomes ‘Text’

Help-NoHelp

Help

NoHelp

This pair demonstrates string to string substitution.  So if the string ‘Help’ is found, it is replaced by the longer ‘NoHelp’ string.

Exceptions

If the replacement changes a hotkey value or a control character, the substitution will not be performed.  For example:-
