Function "replace" for strings?

[LukasP <LP...@po...>]

Hello,

is there a built-in string replacing function?

a = replace("ABC\\XYZ", "\\", "/") # a -> "ABC/XYZ"

It would be very useful especially when migrating between Linux and Win apps
as Linux uses "/" as directory separator but Windows use "\".

Sometimes I pass an argument to a gnuplot script which represents a file
name and it must contain "\\" due to Win command line, but later I'd need to
perform the above replacement.

Is there a possibility?

Thanks.
