How to Remove a certain part of a string (if exists)?

Question

I am trying to make the EA look for a certain value in a string and if that value exists in the string then remove it.

I tried doing it using the StringReplace() but i noticed it only returns the number of replacements and didnt actually returned the updated string:

string v5="- .82523";
          string temp2 =  v5;
          temp2= StringReplace(temp2," ","");
          Print(v5,temp2);

in the above code there is a white space between "-" and ".82523" and i am trying to remove that white space.

so the string is - .82523 and i am trying to get -.82523 , which function can be used for this ?

initially i thought i could do it by using the StringReplace() function , but seems like it only returns the Number of replacements that had happened and not the updated string.

Thanks in Advance

You are using the StringReplace() function incorrectly. Try the following code (from your example).

   string v5="- .82523";
   string temp2 =  v5;
   StringReplace(temp2," ","");
   Print("<",v5,"> <",temp2,">");
