/* Assignment name  : search_and_replace
Expected files   : search_and_replace.c
Allowed functions: write, exit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Write a program called search_and_replace that takes 3 arguments, the first 
arguments is a string in which to replace a letter (2nd argument) by
another one (3rd argument).

If the number of arguments is not 3, just display a newline.

If the second argument is not contained in the first one (the string)
then the program simply rewrites the string followed by a newline.

Examples:
$>./search_and_replace "Papache est un sabre" "a" "o"
Popoche est un sobre
$>./search_and_replace "zaz" "art" "zul" | cat -e
$
$>./search_and_replace "zaz" "r" "u" | cat -e
zaz$
$>./search_and_replace "jacob" "a" "b" "c" "e" | cat -e
$
$>./search_and_replace "ZoZ eT Dovid oiME le METol." "o" "a" | cat -e
ZaZ eT David aiME le METal.$
$>./search_and_replace "wNcOre Un ExEmPle Pas Facilw a Ecrirw " "w" "e" | cat -e
