How to replace a word with another word?

[santyagoarias]

Hi!
I am new to AutoHotkey. I solicit your help.

I would like to replace a word with another word in a text. For example, if the word "apple" exists in a text, I would like that word to be replaced by "pear".

How should I write the programming code?

Regards!

MsgBox % newString1 "`n" newString2
