Actually, in your example, calling x.replace('y','a') would work, but I
suspect that was only a simplification. Try the following:
(*Chris*)
/**
* Replace all occurrances of a String with another String
*
* @param a The String to be processed
* @param b The String to be removed
* @param c The String to be used instead
* @return The processed String
*/
public static String replace (String a,String b,String c) {
int pos = a.length();
int len = b.length();
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(a);
while((pos = a.lastIndexOf(b,--pos)) != -1) {
buf.delete(pos,pos + len);
buf.insert(pos,c);
}
return buf.toString();
} //replace
