lol, you probably will not believe me but I actually knew that already.
 I just forgot to add that part in my original post. When I try and
replace what happens is the first replace works fine but when I try and
do a second replace on a different part of the same string, the program
will print the string a second time(which I do not want). How can you
do 2 or more replaces in one line of code?
