Syntax

public bool ReplacePathParts(
	AbsoluteDocumentPath partToReplace,
	AbsoluteDocumentPath newPart,
	out AbsoluteDocumentPath newPath
)

partToReplace AbsoluteDocumentPath: Part of the path that should be replaced. This part has to match the beginning of this part. The last item of the part is allowed to be given only partially.
newPart AbsoluteDocumentPath: The new part to replace that piece of the path, that match the partToReplace.
newPath AbsoluteDocumentPath: The resulting new path (if the return value is true), or the original path, if the return value is false.

Boolean
True if the part could be replaced. Returns false if the path does not fulfill the presumtions given above.

Remarks

As stated above, the last item of the partToReplace can be given only partially. As an example, the path (here separated by space)

Tables Preexperiment1/WDaten Time

should be replaced by

Tables Preexperiment2\WDaten Time

To make this replacement, the partToReplace should be given by

Tables Preexperiment1/

and the newPart should be given by

Tables Preexperiment2\

Note that Preexperiment1\ and Preexperiment2\ are only partially defined items of the path.
