Argument	Contents
input_str	The input string
find_str	The characters to be located and replaced
repl_str	The new characters that are to replace the find_str characters

A string where the characters in find_str are replaced with the characters in repl_str.

If repl_str has the same number of characters as find_str, the first character of find_str is replaced with the first character of repl_str, etc.
If repl_str has one character, all characters of find_str are replaced with that character.
If repl_str is null, all characters of find_str are removed.
SubstituteChars() is useful for standardizing accents.

s = SubstituteChars("cavolate","aeou","i") // Returns "civiliti"
