Search And Replace

Performs a search and replace on the sentence using the arguments provided and returns the new sentence. First argument is the sentence to perform the search and replace on. Second argument is the word that you will be replacing (before). Third argument is what you will be replacing the second argument with (after). NOTE: Preserves the case of the original word when you are replacing it. For example if you mean to replace the word "Book" with the word "dog", it will be replaced as "Dog".
