Returns a copy of a string with the first instance of a given substring replaced with a new substring.

Syntax:

string_replace(str, substr, newstr);

Argument	Description
string str	The string to be copied
string substr	The substring within the string to be replaced

Description

You can use this function to parse a string looking for a specific part, which can then be replaced by the new string that you have specified.

Example:

str1 = 'Hello Earth';
str2 = string_replace(str1, 'Earth', 'World'); 

This will set str2 to str1, but with its instance of 'Earth' replaced with 'World', resulting in str2 being 'Hello World'.
