## Inputs

### Selection

Parameter ID: `STRING`

This is the original string in which characters should be deleted or replaced.

### Search

Parameter ID: `SEARCH`

This string is searched for in the **Text**. Note that this string must be exactly the same as in the **Text string**. There is also a distinction between upper and lower case. If the **Search string** is found in the **Text** and the **Replace string** remains empty, all remaining characters of the text will be output as a **Result** at the Node.

### Replace

Parameter ID: `REPLACE`

Here you can enter the new string to replace the **Search string** in the **Text**. If you leave this input empty, only the string used in **Searches** will be deleted.
