The Replace method returns a new string.

Strict
Local str:String="***** Hello *****"

Print

str.replace("*","=")
Print str

str = str.replace("*","=")
Print str

It's not easy to find this in the documentation. Look in the Language reference, Strings section. There is a list of string methods, including this one:

Replace:String( subString:String,withString:String )

The Replace:String tells you that Replace returns a String value.
