Tim,

here's what I use:

Torsten

/**
   * Returns a new string resulting from replacing all occurrences of
   * <code>oldSubstring</code> in <code>source</code> with <code>newSubstring</code>.
   * <p>
   * If <code>source</code> is <code>null</code>, <code>null</code> is returned.
   * If <code>oldSubstring</code> does not occur in <code>source</code>,
   * then a new reference to <code>source</code> is returned.
   * Otherwise, a new <code>String</code> object is created that
   * represents a character sequence identical to the character sequence
   * represented by <code>source</code>, except that every
   * occurrence of <code>oldSubstring</code> is replaced by an occurrence
   * of <code>newSubstring</code>.
   * <p>
   *
   * @param   source   the original String.
   * @param   oldSubstring   the old substring.
   * @param   newSubstring   the new substring.
   * @return  a string derived from <code>source</code> by replacing every
   *          occurrence of <code>oldSubstring</code> with <code>newSubstring</code>.
   * @exception  IllegalArgumentException  if <code>oldSubstring</code>
   *          is <code>null</code> or <code>length()</code> == 0.
   */
   public static String replace(String source, String oldSubstring, String newSubstring) {
    if (source == null) return null;
    if (oldSubstring == null || oldSubstring.length() == 0) {
      throw new IllegalArgumentException("null or empty oldSubstring not allowed");
    }
    StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer(source.length());
    int start = 0, stop = 0;
    do {
      stop = source.indexOf(oldSubstring,start);
      if (stop < 0) {
        result.append(source.substring(start, source.length()));
        break;
      }
      result.append(source.substring(start, stop));
      result.append(newSubstring != null ? newSubstring : "");
      start = stop + oldSubstring.length();
    } while (start >= 0 && start < source.length());
    return result.toString();
  }
