Description

Replaces all occurances of a given substring with another substring in a String object.

I looked for a good string replacer and all of them broke (replaced things multiple times, infinitely looped, etc), so I made one. Please let me know if this doesn't work, because if it doesn't work for you then it doesn't work for me! Thanks.

More Info

aSearch=The String to search

aFind=The String to find

aReplace=The String to replace aFind with

Returns aSearch with all occurances of aFind replaced with aReplace
