NAME
lreplace - Replace elements in a list with new elements
SYNOPSIS
lreplace list first last ?element element ...?
DESCRIPTION
Lreplace returns a new list formed by replacing one or more elements of
list with the element arguments. First gives the index in list of the
first element to be replaced (0 refers to the first element). If first
is less than zero then it refers to the first element of list; the
element indicated by first must exist in the list. Last gives the index
in list of the last element to be replaced. If last is less than first
then no elements are deleted; the new elements are simply inserted
before first. First or last may be end (or any abbreviation of it) to
refer to the last element of the list. The element arguments specify
zero or more new arguments to be added to the list in place of those
that were deleted. Each element argument will become a separate element
of the list. If no element arguments are specified, then the elements
between first and last are simply deleted.
EXAMPLE
% lreplace {ABC DEF {GHI JKL} MNO} 3 3
ABC DEF {GHI JKL}
% lreplace {ABC DEF {GHI JKL} MNO} 3 3 {PQR STU} VWX YZ
ABC DEF {GHI JKL} {PQR STU} VWX YZ
