Yes, those are all valid ways of doing it, but I was looking for an Apple
CFString function.

Although Bernie rightly created a very useful one, it is not the same as
having one that calls Apple routines like an API. CFString functions
accessed directly as oneliners from Apple tend to have a lot of back end
optimisation.

It is the backend optimisation that I am seeking, which I suspect does not
exist as an official function.

So, compared to using Find/Replace, an official function would be quicker if
it exists. If not, Find/Replace will suffice.

Thanks anyway!
