An example of how to convert a &'static str to a String in Rust

&str2String.rs

fn main() {
  // Example of a &str to a String conversion
  use std::str;
  let str_slice = "Here is a \"&'static str\"";
  let str_repl = str::replace(str_slice, "is", "was"); // String replacement
  println!("{}, now it's a \"String\".", str_repl.to_string()); // String conversion
  // To go from a String to a &str, use the as_slice() method.
}
