На самом деле это не ответ на вопрос ОП, но он может быть полезен для тех, кто ищет простой способ замены строк в строку, содержащую "элементы формата" стиля C #.
/**
* Method to "format" an array of objects as a single string, performing two possible kinds of
* formatting:
*
* 1. If the first object in the array is a String, and depending on the number of objects in the
* array, then a very simplified and simple-minded C#-style formatting is done. Format items
* "{0}", "{1}", etc., are replaced by the corresponding following object, converted to string
* (of course). These format items must be as shown, with no fancy formatting tags, and only
* simple string substitution is done.
*
* 2. For the objects in the array that do not get processed by point 1 (perhaps all of them,
* perhaps none) they are converted to String and concatenated together with " - " in between.
*
* @param objectsToFormat Number of objects in the array to process/format.
* @param arrayOfObjects Objects to be formatted, or at least the first objectsToFormat of them.
* @return Formatted string, as described above.
