Replacing a single character in a string

[Jouster]

Hi,

I have a string and I need to replace a character in a certain position. There may be other characters in the string that are the same so I'm not sure replace() function will work correctly as I only want the one character changed.

example:
var myString = "00110011234"

want to change position 5 to a 1.

In c i would just say myString[5] = "1" but this doesn't seem to work here.

Thanks in advance.

This should do it:

function x(str){
  return str.substring(0,4) + "1" + str.substring(5);
}

additional method:

function x(str){
  return str.replace(/(.{4}).(.+)/, "$1[red]1[/red]$2");
}
