Yup, looks like this will do the job.

The templated string that I receive is from an external source...I
could ask that source to provide me the string pre-populated with
%<num> args. But replacing %1 with emp name, %2 with emp # etc. does
not look very intuitive. Rather I would like to do name based
substitution. Eg: how its done in python :
http://docs.python.org/library/string.html#template-strings

"$who likes $what" looks better than "%1 likes %2" ! :)

For this replace() looks good enough.

Thanks you all for your inputs.
