using regex for substituting text

[Mohit Sinha]

Hi there,

I am in the midst of developing placeholder evaluation utility where in I have a properties file
with values something like
--------------------
category=classification
home=residence
work=office
--------------------
The values in the left hand side are the ones I receive in input and I need to replace the same with values in the
right hand side.
So the input to my routine could be something like this "The %category is invalid for %home or %work" and I need to replace these with its resourcebundle equivalent as mentioned above.
The purpose of this special character identifier (% in this case)is to indicate these are in a way placeholders and candidate for substitution.

I believe using regex in this scenario would be appropriate.

Can you post your thoughts on going about the same.

Thanks,
