How to call repeat fun within replace range in Kotlin-CodePudding

I got this code

val numberOfStars = urlString.length - index
val result = urlString.replaceRange(index 1..urlString.length - 1,"*") //Here

I need to repeat replacing of character with "*" by numberOfStars. Now it replace only once. And I have result like this somehere=* but I need if numberOfStars=5 the result will be somehere=*****

CodePudding user response：

AFAIK there is no method out of the box .... but you can do it like

val result = urlString.replaceRange(index 1..urlString.length - 1,"*".repeat(numberOfStars))
