I need to replace text that will be a value of 1000 to 9999 (a 4 digit number, as a string)

Is there any way of doing this without making thousands of if statements.

Thanks

Do you mean you need to replace, say, the _number_ 1234 with the STRING “1234”?

Well, this is what i thought the issue was but it is actually html tags. I am working with wordpress api, and there are html tags. i have just encountered another issue. basically i need to make replace text blocks that have the most common html tags such as

’ " […] and so on.

Running into more problems as well.

Join the number to an empty text variable .
