The str.replace() method takes two parameters, the first parameter being the content to be replaced and the second parameter being the content to replace it with. Here is an example:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code>text = <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"Hello, world!\"<\/span>\r\nnew_text = text.replace(<span class=\"hljs-string\">\"world\"<\/span>, <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"Python\"<\/span>)\r\n<span class=\"hljs-built_in\">print<\/span>(new_text)\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Output:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code>Hello, Python!\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, we replace the string &#8220;world&#8221; with &#8220;Python&#8221;. The str.replace() method returns a new string with the replacement, without changing the original string.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to replace all matches in the text, you can use regular expressions and the re.sub() method. Here is an example:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">import<\/span> re\r\n\r\ntext = <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"Hello, 12345! 67890!\"<\/span>\r\nnew_text = re.sub(<span class=\"hljs-string\">r\"\\d+\"<\/span>, <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"NUM\"<\/span>, text)\r\n<span class=\"hljs-built_in\">print<\/span>(new_text)\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Output:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code>Hello, NUM! NUM!\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, we use the regular expression \\d+ to match all numbers and replace them with the string &#8220;NUM&#8221;. The re.sub() method returns the new string with replacements, without changing the original string.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this helps!
