That would be a minor change to my previous solution... Just use a
recursive call on the remainder of the string:

-- start code --
sequence string1, string2

function replace( sequence target, sequence old, sequence new )
  integer len, loc

  len = length( old )
  loc = match( old, target )

  while loc do
    return target[1..(loc - 1) ] &
           new &
           -- recursive call on remainder of string --
           replace( target[(loc + len)..length( target )], old, new )
  end while

  return target

end function


string1 = "Euphoria is fast, flexible and fun; simple, safe, and sexy!\n"
string2 = replace( string1, "and", "or" )
puts( 1, string1 )
puts( 1, string2 )
-- end code --

The best place to look is http:\\www.rapideuphoria.com\
If you can't find it in recent user contributions or the archives, then you
can try different Eu pages listed on "Other Euphoria Web sites".  All other
libraries come with the public domain version.
