String Processing Question [message #42864]

Folks,

My mind goes into shutdown mode whenever the subject of
string processing comes up. It always has, I don't know
why.

I have a method of doing this, but is looks like
a crock. Here is the situation.

I have a variable:

animal = 'Coyote'

And I have a string:

myString = 'My favorite animal is {1}.

I want to replace "{1}" with "Coyote". What is the
best way to do that, given that "{1}' can occur
anywhere in the string?

Cheers,

David
