String replacement, regular expressions

Question

I'd like to do string replacement in the pre block of a rule using regular expressions. I know there is a function to do that, but I can't find it. Hints?

I'm thinking something like this:

origStr = "Original-string-has-hyphens";
newStr = origStr.replace(re/-/ /g);

The result being that newStr = "Original string has hyphens".

EDIT: Just realized that I asked a similar question a few months ago, but I never quite got a working answer.

Thanks, Mike. You should make that super searcher an extension for docs.kynetx.com. :) – Steve Nay Mar 17 '11 at 22:04
The plan is to eventually just put it in the docs once the team has enough time. : ) – Mike Grace Mar 17 '11 at 22:28
