Question

I need to replace a string by range
Example:

string = "this is a string";//I need to replace index 0 to 3 whith another string Ex.:"that"
result = "that is a string";

but this need to be dinamically. Cant be replace a fixed word …need be by range

I have tried

           result = string.replaceAt(0, 'that');

but this replace only the first character and I want the first to third

Answer 1

function replaceRange(s, start, end, substitute) {
    return s.substring(0, start) + substitute + s.substring(end);
}

var str = "this is a string";
var newString = replaceRange(str, 0, 4, "that"); // "that is a string"
