Replace substring with

Hi list,
         a couple of times I have to perform replacements of substrings
and I couldn't find a standard solution.  By replacing substrings I mean
something like replacing 'xy' with 'werty' in 'xyer sd xy' (and not
something like '..<1s>..' expandMacrosWith:...). I thought that maybe
the replace dialog from paragraph editor may give a hint, but it turns
out it is implemented in the controller itself. So I was just wondering,
before writing it, if I was missing something in the base image or if
anybody already wrote it?

Thanks in advance,
                   Andrés

SequenceableCollection copyReplaceAll:with: {copying}

I guess I *was* missing something. Thanks!

Check out "Regex11" package and look for

CharacterArray>>copyWithRegex: rxString matchesReplacedWith: aString

Thanks Andre, I guess regular expressions will do a better job than
copyReplaceAll:with: in this particular case.
