StringReplaceList
StringReplaceList["string", s->sp] or StringReplaceList["string", {s1->sp1, s2->sp2, ...}]
gives a list of the strings obtained by replacing each individual occurrence of substrings in 
matching the string expressions 
.
StringReplaceList["string", srules, n]
gives a list of the first n results obtained.
StringReplaceList[{s1, s2, ...}, srules]
gives the list of results for each of the 
.
Details and Options
- The string expressions
can contain any of the objects specified in the notes for StringExpression. - In each of the results returned by StringReplaceList only one substring has been replaced.
- StringReplaceList goes through a string, testing substrings that start at each successive character position. On each substring, it tries in turn each of the transformation rules you have specified, returning a result for each one that applies.
- StringReplaceList in effect carries out a single step in the evolution of a multiway system.
- If the
in the replacements 
do not evaluate to strings, StringReplaceList will yield a StringExpression rather than an ordinary string. - In replacements of the form
, the 
are not evaluated until each time they are used. - Setting the option IgnoreCase->True makes StringReplaceList treat lowercase and uppercase letters as equivalent.
