Search and replace of multiple values.
Hi everyone!,
I have a table with 2 columns, the first one is the string I should check inside a field, the other column is the value I should replace if its a match. How can I achieve this without creating a function with lots of steps for each string I need to search and replace.

Will these be the only values within the field, or are you looking inside say a comments filed? If it's the first one, I would just do a simple lookup using the table you have here as a lookup table. At least that way you stay flexible and can add more values later.
If it's the second scenario (within comments type field), then I'm not sure top of my head. Maybe some expression replacement?

Hi James,
In this case I need to look inside a whole string for the specific pattern and replace it.
Example:
I have a field, for example ABCD1EFG. Then I have a table with 2 columns ToFind, To Replace
ToFind
ToReplace
1
X
2
Y
so in the example would replace to ABCDXEFG
If its ABC1DEF2GH should be replace as ABCXDEFYGH
Cheers,
Alfredo

Still use the lookup table, but use the function "Replace Matches"? I tried and seems to work within a comments field (space separated values before and after) with your original strings
