Example
Simple replacement

// Assign a value to do the replace on $subject = Pack("A*", "Hello world!!!"); // Assign a value to find $find = Pack("A*", "world"); // Assign a value to replace the found with $replace = Pack("A*", "Spuntik"); // Print unchanged say $subject; // Hello world!!! // Do the replacement BinaryReplace($subject, $find, $replace); // Print changed say $subject; // Hello Spuntik!!!
