help with String manipulation

[ambiguousprep]

I need a method that replaces all of a given substring with another
given substring, but is NOT casesentive.

example: replace all "damn" with "****"

String.indexOf(str) is case sensitive, so im all out of ideas

any help will be appreciated

Make a copies of the strings but all uppercase. Use the all uppercase
versions to find the indexOf but draw the substrings out of the original
mixed case strings.

If you know how to use regular expressions (or don't mind learning how),
you can use the replaceAll(String regExp, String replacement) method.

You should be able to do something like:

Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("foo", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
String result = pattern.matcher("a fOo named FoO").replaceAll("bar");

result should be "a bar named bar"
