Description.

This is nothing more than a simple function to replace text in a java String object. NOTE: If someome knows of a standard function that does this let me know. I would expect there to be on, I just cant find it.

/**
 * Simple string Replace function. Each occurance of "sFrom" is
 * replaced with "sTo".
 * @param sInput    String to search for matches.
 * @param sFrom     String to be replaced by "sTo".
 * @param sTo       String to be inserted in place of "sFrom".
 * @return          Modified string with the new values inserted.
 * @author          john@mctainsg.com
