Question How to extract and replace with parameter value?
Hi,

I have a function getparam() which takes parameter name as input and parameter value as output.

I have a strting like this,

Code:
abcd#paramname1#efgh#paramname2#ijklmnopq

Above one is my input,
The strting enclosed in # are the parameter names.

Here question is, I have to get the output string but with parameter values instead of parameter names.

As said, there is a fuction to get the parameter value for parameter name.
Code:
getparam(paramname1)=PValue1
getparam(paramname2)=PValue2

Output has to be like

Code:
abcdPValue1efghPValue2ijklmnopq

Please post your ideas,
Thank you,
