GLib.strdelimit
Description: Reference for GLib.strdelimit

### Function

# GLibstrdelimit

since: 2.0

#### Declaration

    gchar*
    g_strdelimit (
      gchar* string,
      const gchar* delimiters,
      gchar new_delimiter
    )

#### Description

Converts any delimiter characters in `string` to `new_delimiter`.

Any characters in `string` which are found in `delimiters` are changed to the `new_delimiter` character. Modifies `string` in place, and returns `string` itself, not a copy.

The return value is to allow nesting such as:

    g_ascii_strup (g_strdelimit (str, "abc", '?'))

In order to modify a copy, you may use `g_strdup()`:

    reformatted = g_strdelimit (g_strdup (const_str), "abc", '?');
    …
    g_free (reformatted);
