Even easier (Score:1)

That's way too complicated. This is easier:
public static String subst(String string, String regex, String repl) { Pattern pat = Pattern.compile(regex); Matcher m = pat.matcher(string); return m.replaceAll(repl); }
or even
public static String subst(String string, String regex, String repl) { return Pattern.compile(regex).matcher(string).replaceAll(repl); }
