String Manipulation

CONCAT <variable_1> AND <variable_2> TO <new_variable>: Merge two strings.
REPLACE <old_string> WITH <new_string> IN <variable>: Replace specific portions of a string.

Concatenating Strings: Let's say you have two variables, var1 with the value "Hello" and var2 with the value "World". You want to concatenate them with a space in between.
```
CONCAT var1 AND " " AND var2 TO greeting
```
After executing the above, the greeting variable will have the value "Hello World".
Replacing Strings: Consider a variable message with the value "I love apples". You want to replace "apples" with "oranges".
```
REPLACE "apples" WITH "oranges" IN message
```
After this operation, the message variable will have the value "I love oranges".
Extracting Strings: (Note: Assuming Flux supports an EXTRACT command for the sake of this example) If you have a variable sentence with the value "The quick brown fox", and you want to extract the word "quick".
```
EXTRACT "quick" FROM sentence TO extractedWord
```
The extractedWord variable will now hold the value "quick".
