Find and replace a string on a string field

Hello all !!

I have to do a find and replace a string on a variable (string). I know there is a matcher object but I couldnt find much documentation on the usage. Any one else used this object ? or is there any other simple function to get this done. Pls help

Thanks
Raghu

Thank you ckemp.

I did the following and everything is working fine.

Code:
acntSaleDet = acntSaleDet.replace('Amount $', '<br>Amount $');

Raghu,

Take a look at the Apex Developer's Guide, specifically the "Pattern and Matcher Classes" on p.185.  You'll have to use the replaceAll() or replaceFirst() methods for the Matcher object, described on p.193.
