This method combines one stream into another, producing a new stream.

Defined In

LCStream

Syntax

Call lcStream.Merge (stream1, offset, stream2)

Parameters


Parameter	Description
stream1	LCStream. stream2 is combined into stream1.
offset	Long. Position in lcStream of the first byte of stream2 - stream2 is inserted into stream1 starting at the position indicated by offset. Note: This is the number of bytes, not the number of characters. For multibyte character sets (Unicode in particular), the values will differ.
stream2	LCStream. stream2 is merged into stream1. If stream2 is a different format than stream1, it is converted to the format of stream1 before being merged.

Example

Option Public
Uselsx "*lsxlc" 
Sub Initialize
  Dim msg As New LCStream   ' Unicode is the default format for streams
  Dim part As New LCStream
  Dim newmsg As New LCStream
  msg.Text = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."
  part.Text = "very "
  REM counting start with 1 and each character in a Unicode string is 2 bytes
  Call newmsg.Merge (msg, 9, part)
  Print "The message, after inserting '" & part.Text"' starting at the 9th byte, is " & newmsg.Text
End Sub

Example Output

The message, after inserting 'very ' starting at the 9th byte, is The very quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
