**Example**

In this example, we are passing the required parameters to the function transformation object using a *Variables* object.

Where,

*str =* ABABABA

*lookFor* = b

*replaceWith ­*= C

*charsToRemove* = False

Right-click on the function transformation object and select *Preview Output.* You can see that Astera Data Stack has returned a string, having replaced the last occurrence of a specified string with another provided string.
