See if comphelper::string::replace fits your needs, i.e. include
comphelper/string.hxx, it takes string to operate on, search string,
replace string and returns a new string. Where string is an OUString or
OString.

comphelper/qa/string/test_string.cxx is the unit test for  it, i.e.
TestString::testReplace if anyone wants to put any potential gotchas
through it.
