Gates › Strings › Replace in String

Replace in String

Expression (pure) Strings 6 in 1 out ⬚ 1x1

Replaces matching text from a chosen start index with optional case and count limits, useful for templates and text cleanup.

The supplementary gate_docs.json calls this “Replace”. The primary inventory name (Replace in String) is shown here, matching the in-game UI.
