{title:Description}

{p 4 4 2}
{cmd: ereplace} extends the popular {help egen} and {help egenmore} (if installed) modules
to permit replacing. {cmd: ereplace} replaces {it:varname} of the optionally specified storage type [type]
equal to {it:fcn}{cmd:(}{it:arguments}{cmd:)}.  Depending on
{it:fcn}{cmd:()}, {it:arguments} refers to an expression, a
{help varlist}, a {help numlist}, or an empty string. The options are
similarly function dependent.
