🔒 trying to create a find and replace function

[swift bridge]

def string_replace():
    ent = input("Enter string:")
    rep = input("replace:")
    repw = input("replace with:")
    
    if rep in ent:
        result= ent.replace()
        messagebox.showinfo("Replace",f"String has replced {rep} with {result}")

    else:
        messagebox.showerror("Error",f"String Does not contain {rep}")

so what im tryin to do is check ent to see if rep is present the replace rep with repw

!d str.replace

str.replace

str.replace(old, new[, count])```
Return a copy of the string with all occurrences of substring *old* replaced by *new*. If the optional argument *count* is given, only the first *count* occurrences are replaced.

[vocal spruce]

the syntax for replace is ```py
string_variable.replace(old_string, new_string)

so in your case the old string is rep, and the new string is repw, so you'd pass them in as arguments to ent.replace()
