I've done this in Java before but I can't remember how exactly.
You create a String:
String foo = "She %s sea shells by the seashore.";
Then you can write into the String the word "sells".
What do you use for that?

String myString = "sells";
String foo = String.format("She %s sea shells by the seashore.", myString);

You're looking for the Formatter class, or the String.format convenience method:
String.format(foo, "sells");

String.format?
Object a[] = { "Real's HowTo", "http://www.any.com" ,
java.util.Calendar.getInstance()};
String s = String.format("Welcome %1$s at %2$s ( %3$tY %3$tm %3$te )", a);
System.out.println(s);
// output : Welcome Real's HowTo at http://www.any.com (2010 06 26)

You can use the String.Format function for this.

Straight from the source (and my bookmarks)...
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
// Send all output to the Appendable object sb
Formatter formatter = new Formatter(sb, Locale.US);
// Explicit argument indices may be used to re-order output.
formatter.format("%4$2s %3$2s %2$2s %1$2s", "a", "b", "c", "d");
