FindAndReplaceChar

The function finds a character, which may occur more than once, in a string and replaces it with another character.

The function returns

the number of replaced characters.
the value 0 if the character was not found.

The function stops the checking of the input length after Parameterlist.cMaxCharacters characters in order to avoid an infinite loop.
