Search and Replace multiple Lines in TStringList

Is there an easy way of doing Search and Replace of multiple Lines in
TStringList?

Hi, Marc!

There's no built in function for that purpose. You'll have to write your
own, unfortunately, though they aren't very hard to write.

Oh, I should also mention that you could use a non-visible TMemo or
TRichEdit to do a search and replace, and since their text content is
based on TStringList, that might be a good choice for your situation.

Hummm... An easy way? There probably is... I just don't know of any.
I've compiled an ugly, yet working, example of doing so.
It replaces strings in a TMemo, using a search string from a TEdit.
Here it is:
String currStr;
int i, pos;
char tempStr[100], replaceStr[100];
for(i=0;i<Memo1->Lines->Count;i++) {
currStr = Memo1->Lines->Strings[i];
if((pos=currStr.Pos(Edit1->Text))) {
strcpy(tempStr,currStr.c_str());
strcpy(replaceStr, &tempStr[pos-1+Edit1->Text.Length()]);
tempStr[pos-1] = 0;
strcpy(&tempStr[pos-1], "replace string");
strcat(tempStr, replaceStr);
Memo1->Lines->Delete(i);
Memo1->Lines->Insert(i, tempStr);
}
}

Re:Search and Replace multiple Lines in TStringList

I can replace words no problem. Thanks for the example thought. I need to
search and replace more then one line at a time. I think I have it almost
working anyways.
