STR_REPLACE is available in the ITTVIS contrib library

Since it accepts regular expressions, I suspect I can use it instead
of Jeremy's sed command. But first I have to parse how that sed
command works.

repstr.pro is from the Astron library
http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftp/pro/misc/repstr.pro
and only accepts static expressions, which is how Craig was using it.

That's OK for that specific string, but I'd like to make it work for
an arbitrary string.

Thanks everyone for their suggestions. --Wayne
