i need to make a program that will find a word inside a sentence then replace that word with another word i type.

i cannot fiqure out how to replace the word without deleting the string and just getting the word

this is what i have so far

code:
    private static int searchAndReplace (String origStr, String searchStr,String replaceStr)
    {
        int findIndex = origStr.indexOf (searchStr);

        while (findIndex >= 0)
        {

            findIndex = origStr.indexOf (searchStr, findIndex + 1);
        }

    }


Thanks for your help
(btw, i like what you guys did to the site 8) )

well you use indexOf to find where the string to be replaced is located. Then you construct a new string in this order

everything to the left of index + replacement string + everything to the right of (index + length of string to replace)
