How do I replaceable random characters in string

i have a list of words

that 1 word appear randomly and I want to make a button clue that shows the word but with X in 2-3 of the word instead of letters.

like : randomly = ranXoXly

Here's one way: use a function that accepts a string and a number of random characters to replace. The code here references two fields in the sample project so you can test it and see if it works for you:

You function sometimes produces results like "hellowXrld" when limit field is set to 3.

Here is a slightly shorter version:

The word should contain at least 3 letters, otherwise it will go into an infinite loop.

You can add another condition to the While loop, for example "Loopindex<50" to prevent this from happening.

netdzynr thank you very much for your help it works fine.

dop2000 I tried to Implement what showed in the image but it didn't work

construct 3 crush

both of you thank you for the help.

It crashes because you made an infinite loop.

here is my capx:

You're right, I neglected to account for replacing the full count of characters.

dop2000's approach is much more concise, but I updated my project just to have a working version. It appears to work correctly now, same URL.
