Repeat a string: Difference between revisions

There are several other built-in functions that can be used to achieve the same result depending on need:

<lang NetRexx>/* NetRexx */

sampleStr = 'ha' -- string to duplicate

say ' COPIES:' sampleStr.copies(5)

say 'CHANGESTR:' '.....'.changestr('.', sampleStr)

sampleChr = '*' -- character to duplicate

say ' LEFT:' sampleChr.left(5, sampleChr)

say ' RIGHT:' sampleChr.right(5, sampleChr)

say ' CENTRE:' sampleChr.centre(5, sampleChr)

say ' SUBSTR:' ''.substr(1, 5, sampleChr)

say 'TRANSLATE:' '.....'.translate(sampleChr, '.')

say ' OVERLAY:' sampleChr.overlay(sampleChr, 1, 5, sampleChr)

</lang>
