Description

• 

The Substitute(s, from, to) function replaces the first occurrence of the string from in the string s by the string to, and returns the resulting string. The original string s is not modified. Strings are immutable in Maple.

• 

The SubstituteAll(s, from, to) function replaces all occurrences of from in s by to, and returns the resulting string. The original string s is not modified.

• 

Only the first of overlapping occurrences of from in s is subject to replacement by to.

• 

All of the StringTools package commands treat strings as (null-terminated) sequences of 8-bit (ASCII) characters.  Thus, there is no support for multibyte character encodings, such as unicode encodings.
