> | <replace_with> is the replacement text (Optional). If not PASSed this routine will 'cut' the the <search_text> from <text_field>. This is different from PASSing a blank field, if you pass a blank field, then blanks will be inserted into <text_field>. The number of blanks will depend on the <len_of_replace> field below. |

<no_of_replacements> returns the number of times the text was replaced (Optional). This must be PASSed with Share "Y" to return the value.
<skip> is the number of occurrences of <search_text> to skip before beginning replacement (Optional). If not PASSed, all occurrences will be replaced. |
|
<
< | <max_no_replace> is the maximum number of replacements you want performed (Optional). If not provided, all occurrences will be replaced. For example, if you only want the first 2 occurrences replaced, PASS 0 for <skip> and 2 for <max_no_replace>, or if you only want the 3rd & 4th occurrences replaced, PASS 2 for <skip> and 2 for <max_no_replace>. You can also PASS -1 to indicate all occurrences. |
