Initial Code 
myString.split("foo").join("bar");
Initial URL 

                                

                                                            

                                    

                                        

                                        Initial Description
                                        

                                    

                                    
Provides a quick and simple "find this string pattern and replace it with this other string pattern" find and replace.  Not fancy enough for regular expressions, but untill AS3 is standard this works well for most search/replace needs.

Can be very handy for processing incoming text, whether via user input or from a database or otherwise.  For instance, searching for "\r" and replacing with "\n" or "" to control how line breaks flow.
