// Usage:
// Create a dynamic textfield with linkage name helloworld_txt and give it an initial value of '{{hello}} {{world}}!'
// add the function substitute below to a static class or put it somewhere in your project
// call it by passing the textfield name first and an object of key values to replace second
Helpers.substitute(helloworld_txt, {hello: 'It', world: 'Works' });
// run the file, the textfield should now say "It Works!"

Linode vs Rackspace
Linode 512MB / 20GB / 200GB Transfer = 12.69
Rackspace / 7.30 + 1.46 = 8.76
Rackspace / 14.06 + 2.81 = 16.87
Linode 12.69 * 2 = 25.38 inc VAT
Rackspace 14.06 + 7.30 = 21.36 ex VAT = 25.62 inc VAT
