Parameters
- replaceSpan
- Span
The span of characters to replace.

- String
The new text to replace the old.

The ITextSnapshot.
Exceptions
replaceSpan

This is a shortcut for creating a new ITextEdit object, using it to replace the text, and then applying it. If the replacement fails on account of a read-only region, the snapshot returned will be the same as the current snapshot of the buffer before the attempted replacement.
