Is there a way to find/replace parts of a text string when the string is a variable?
Ex.
“Hello, how are you?” to “Hello,_how_are_you?”

Yes, though you might want to read up on the language to cook up your own specific interpretation. Start reading here:

Easy answer - string.gsub() will do this; http://developer.coronalabs.com/reference/index/stringgsub
Run this sample;
[lua]string1 = “This is a string”
string2 = string.gsub(string1, " ", “_”)
print (string2)[/lua]
