I want to know how to edit a part of a large string. An example is below.
I want to turn "1 2 3 0 0 0 7i8i9i1 2 3 4i0 0 0 8i9i1 2 3 0 5i0 7i0 9i1 2 3 0 0 6i7i8i0 "
into "1 2 3 0 0 0 7i8i9i1 2 3 4i0 0 0 8i9i0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 3 0 0 6i7i8i0 ". |

The best I can think of is to just use sub( take the parts that you want, of course it all depends on how much you know about the string.
Code:
"1 2 3 0 0 0 7i8i9i1 2 3 4i0 0 0 8i9i1 2 3 0 5i0 7i0 9i1 2 3 0 0 6i7i8i0
sub(ans,1,36)+"0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 "+sub(ans,55,17
You can replace whatever of those numbers in the sub('s with variables if they are going to change.
I don't know if you need to use a string or not, but lists are much easier. You can access each variable with L1(1), L1(2) and so on.

There have been many instances where I've needed to use the string operations you mentioned, and sometimes, there's no way to know what the string was in the first place (e.g., when I want to replace all instances of one character in the string with a different character). I'd still use the sub( command, as thepenguin77 said, but using a variable and length( as parts of the second and third arguments. For example, if you need to replace the character of Str1 at place A with a "0":
Code:
sub(Str1,1,A-1)+"0"+sub(Str1,A+1, length(Str1)-A→Str1
