This function sets a byte directly in a string (based on the UTF8 format) and returns a copy of the string with the changes.
NOTE This function is incredibly slow so consider carefully whether it is necessary and where you use it.
string_set_byte_at(str, pos, byte);
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| str | String | The string to change the byte of. |
| pos | Real | The position within the string (starting at 1) to change the byte of. |
| byte | Real | The new byte value. |
str = string_set_byte_at("hello", 2, 97);
The above code would change the byte value of the second letter in the string, and so set the variable str to hold "hallo".
