   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   in         I   Input string.
   marker     I   Marker to be replaced.
   value      I   Replacement value.
   sigdig     I   Significant digits in replacement text.
   outlen     I   Available space in output string.
   out        O   Output string.
   MAXLDP     P   Maximum length of a d.p. number.

Detailed_Input

   in          is an arbitrary character string.

   marker      is an arbitrary character string. The first occurrence of
               `marker' in the input string is to be replaced by `value'.

               Leading and trailing blanks in `marker' are NOT
               significant. In particular, no substitution is performed
               if `marker' is blank or empty.

   value       is an arbitrary double precision number.

   sigdig      is the number of significant digits with which `value' is
               to be represented. `sigdig' must be greater than zero and
               less than 15.

   outlen      is the maximum allowed length of the output string `out'.
               This length must be large enough to hold the output string
               plus the null-terminator character. If the output string
               is expected to have N characters, `outlen' should be at
               least N+1.

Detailed_Output

   out         is the string obtained by substituting the text
               representation of `value' for the first occurrence of
               `marker' in the input string.

               The text representation of `value' is in scientific
               notation, having the number of significant digits
               specified by `sigdig'. The representation of `value' is
               produced by the SPICELIB routine DPSTR; see that routine
               for details concerning the representation of double
               precision numbers.

               `out' and `in' must be identical or disjoint.

Parameters

   MAXLDP   is the maximum expected length of the text representation
            of a double precision number. 23 characters are
            sufficient to hold any result returned by the SPICELIB
            routine DPSTR. (See -Restrictions.)

            This routine assumes that the input d.p. value is such
            that its string representation contains no more than
            MAXLDP characters.

Exceptions

   1)  If `out' does not have sufficient length to accommodate the
       result of the substitution, the result will be truncated on
       the right.

   2)  If `marker' is blank or empty, or if `marker' is not a substring of
       `in', this routine leaves the input string unchanged, except that
       trailing blanks will be trimmed. This case is not considered an error.

   3)  If any of the `in' or `marker' input string pointers is null,
       the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled.

   4)  If the `out' output string pointer is null, the error
       SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled.

   5)  If the `out' output string has length less than one character,
       the error SPICE(STRINGTOOSHORT) is signaled.

Files

   None.

Particulars

   This is one of a family of related routines for inserting values
   into strings. They are typically to construct messages that
   are partly fixed, and partly determined at run time. For example,
   a message like

      "Fifty-one pictures were found in directory [USER.DATA]."

   might be constructed from the fixed string

      "#1 pictures were found in directory #2."

   by the calls

      #include "SpiceUsr.h"
           .
           .
           .
      #define   STRLEN                  81
           .
           .
           .
      repmct_c ( string, "#1",  51,  'c',     STRLEN, string );
      repmc_c  ( string, "#2", "[USER.DATA]", STRLEN, string );


   which substitute the cardinal text "Fifty-one" and the character
   string "[USER.DATA]" for the markers "#1" and "#2" respectively.

   The complete list of routines is shown below.

      repmc_c    ( Replace marker with character string value )
      repmd_c    ( Replace marker with double precision value )
      repmf_c    ( Replace marker with formatted d.p. value   )
      repmi_c    ( Replace marker with integer value          )
      repml_c    ( Replace marker with logical value          )
      repmct_c   ( Replace marker with cardinal text          )
      repmot_c   ( Replace marker with ordinal text           )

Examples

   The numerical results shown for this example may differ across
   platforms. The results depend on the SPICE kernels used as
   input, the compiler and supporting libraries, and the machine
   specific arithmetic implementation.

   1) The following example illustrate the use of repmd_c to
      replace a marker within a string with the text representation
      of a double precision value.


      Example code begins here.


      /.
         Program repmd_ex1
      ./
      #include <stdio.h>
      #include <string.h>
      #include "SpiceUsr.h"

      int main( )
      {

         /.
         Local parameters.
         ./
         #define STRLEN       81

         /.
         Local variables.
         ./
         SpiceChar            instr  [STRLEN];
         SpiceChar            marker [STRLEN];
         SpiceChar            outstr [STRLEN];

         /.
         1. Single marker, two significant digits.
         ./
         strncpy( marker, "#", 2 );
         strncpy( instr, "Invalid value. The value was:  #", 33 );

         repmd_c ( instr, marker, 5.0e1, 2, STRLEN, outstr );

         printf( "Case 1: Single marker, two significant digits.\n" );
         printf( "   Input : %s\n", instr );
         printf( "   Output: %s\n", outstr );
         printf( "\n" );

         /.
         2. Multiple markers, three significant digits.
         ./
         strncpy( marker, " XX ", 5 );
         strncpy( instr, "Left > Right endpoint. Left: XX; Right: XX", 43 );

         repmd_c ( instr, marker, -5.2e-9, 3, STRLEN, outstr );

         printf( "Case 2: Multiple markers, three significant digits.\n" );
         printf( "   Input : %s\n", instr );
         printf( "   Output: %s\n", outstr );
         printf( "\n" );

         /.
         3. Excessive significant digits.
         ./
         strncpy( marker, "#", 2 );
         strncpy( instr, "Invalid value. The value was:  #", 33 );

         repmd_c ( instr, marker, 5.0e1, 100, STRLEN, outstr );

         printf( "Case 3: Excessive significant digits.\n" );
         printf( "   Input : %s\n", instr );
         printf( "   Output: %s\n", outstr );
         printf( "\n" );

         return ( 0 );
      }


      When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/cc/64-bit
      platform, the output was:


      Case 1: Single marker, two significant digits.
         Input : Invalid value. The value was:  #
         Output: Invalid value. The value was:  5.0E+01

      Case 2: Multiple markers, three significant digits.
         Input : Left > Right endpoint. Left: XX; Right: XX
         Output: Left > Right endpoint. Left: -5.20E-09; Right: XX

      Case 3: Excessive significant digits.
         Input : Invalid value. The value was:  #
         Output: Invalid value. The value was:  5.0000000000000E+01


      Note that, in Case #3 even though 100 digits of precision were
      requested, only 14 were returned.

Restrictions

   1)  The maximum number of significant digits returned is 14.

   2)  This routine makes explicit use of the format of the string
       returned by the SPICELIB routine DPSTR; should that routine
       change, substantial work may be required to bring this routine
       back up to snuff.
