Forgive me if I am missing something obvious, but is there a 
simple option for finding all instances of a particular character 
in a string or char[] and replacing them with another character?

I can do this with std.regex, but it seems overkill, when all I 
want is the equivalent of PHP's str_replace() function.

Many thanks!

Apologies, after half an hour searching, I post, then five 
minutes later figure it out.

myString = replace(myString, to, from); // from std.array

 Apologies, after half an hour searching, I post, then five minutes later
 figure it out.

 myString = replace(myString, to, from); // from std.array

Note that you can also do:

myString = myString.replace(to, from)

I'd point you to the reference on the official page (UFCS: unified 
function call syntax), but I can't find it...
