Hi Folk

I need to write a tricky replacement function.



C = replace A with B in C
C = replace D with E in C

examples of A could be "a cat climbs a tree", examples of B could be
"a dog climbs a alligator". Thereby, I want to make sure that parts
that have already been replaced will not be replaced again (by the E
replaces D statement for example). I will mark all new text (Bs and
Es) with <span class="replacePart">... new text here ....</span>.

How could I go about this? Could I use a regular expression?

Thank you

Nicolaas
