String - Replace Letters With Numbers
Hello,
I have a bunch of 2 character strings, and I want to check if it contains a letter, and replace it with a number. Here is an example of the strings that I get:
00
01
G9
A3
44
The list of strings could contain a letter. I want to replace that with a number like so:
A = 1
B = 2
C = 3
D = 4, etc
I already have a function that returns the number corresponding to the letter position within the alphabet. I just need to be able to check if the string has a character, and to replace only just that character. Example:
var thisString : String = 4F
thisString does contain 'F', replace with Function ReplaceAlphabet() -> returns 6.
Thus thisString = 46.
Cheers, Ollie

Hum, turns out I could do it like this:
thisString = thisString.Replace("A", "0");
thisString = thisString.Replace("B", "1");
thisString = thisString.Replace("C", "2");
