Function

GLibstrdelimit

Declaration 

gchar*
g_strdelimit (
  gchar* string,
  const gchar* delimiters,
  gchar new_delimiter
)

Description

Converts any delimiter characters in string to new_delimiter.

Any characters in string which are found in delimiters are changed to the new_delimiter character. Modifies string in place, and returns string itself, not a copy.

The return value is to allow nesting such as:

  g_ascii_strup (g_strdelimit (str, "abc", '?'))

In order to modify a copy, you may use g_strdup():

  reformatted = g_strdelimit (g_strdup (const_str), "abc", '?');
  ...
  g_free (reformatted);
