// The SetNth method is handy for setting a part of a delimited string.
// For example:

sb := TChilkatStringBuilder.Create(Self);
sb.Append('red,blue,"green,purple",,yellow');

delimiterChar := ',';
exceptDoubleQuoted := 1;
exceptEscaped := 1;

sb.SetNth(2,'magenta',delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped);
// Prints "red,blue,magenta,,yellow"
Memo1.Lines.Add(sb.GetAsString());

sb.SetNth(3,'orange',delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped);
// Prints "red,blue,magenta,orange,yellow"
Memo1.Lines.Add(sb.GetAsString());

// What happens if we start with an empty string?
sb.Clear();

sb.SetNth(2,'apple',delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped);
// Prints ",,apple"
Memo1.Lines.Add(sb.GetAsString());

sb.SetNth(0,'orange',delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped);
// Prints "orange,,apple"
