About replace function

[peak_positions 2]

Hi,

 

I've set a variable to get content. Now i need to place the link where the keyword appears in the variable but only one time.

 

For example... video is my keyword. in #content variable I have the following content.

 

"Having said that, in case you cannot invest a lot time and effort in executing all this, the simplest way for you personally are going to be to get a video clip Seo pro support or use a professional YouTube video marketing and advertising firm."

 

Now i would like to replace only one keyword either fist one or second one as "http://mysite.com/".

 

 

I tried in lot of ways but i couldn't find it.... anybody have Solution???

Not sure what you're trying to do... are you trying to replace the keyword with link and anchor text?

 

Something like this?

 

set(#anchor link, "<a href=\"http://www.link.com/\">anchor text</a>", "Global")

set(#replace keyword, $replace(#keyword, #keyword, #anchor link), "Global")

Yeah ... exactly.... but it replacing all the keywords... i just want to replace only one keyword...

Ah... there's a RegEx expression for replacing only the first occurrence of a variable... hopefully one of the RegEx guys has it...

The problem is as I see it the regex global flag is set to true within ubot 4

I spent quite some time trying to work around this but failed

I could get it to work sometimes but it would not work within a loop
