StringReplacePart

StringReplacePart["string", "snew", {m, n}]
replaces the characters at positions m through n in "string" by "snew".
StringReplacePart["string", "snew", {{m1, n1}, {m2, n2}, ...}]
inserts copies of "snew" at several positions.
StringReplacePart["string", {"snew1", "snew2", ...}, {{m1, n1}, {m2, n2}, ...}]
replaces characters at positions mi through ni in "string" by "snewi".
  • When a list of "snewi" is given, its length must be the same as the length of the list of positions.  »
  • When multiple positions are given, all refer to the original "string", before any replacements have been done.
