// No comments.
No /* multi-line comments. */
No { code blocks. }
No "strings".
Your code only might work under very particular circumstances, can't tell code blocks apart from each other, and may edit the heck out of the comments by accident.
I can give you something to do a specific task easily. You wanted something general, and that's hard.
This is why I asked what you actually wanted to do, not what manner you wanted to accomplish it in. Replacing values is easy enough. Giving you 'getters' and 'setters' so you can replace in exactly the manner you think you should isn't.

Edit the part in red to your heart's content.
