Solidity (find a word in a string and replace it)

Question

I am learning solidity string/byte manipulation and I am trying to create a Solidity function that finds specific words in a string/format and replaces them with given variables to return "edited" string

Example:

string format = "UserData: {address}, {balance}"

function replaceWords(string calldata Format) external pure returns (string memory){

   address addr = 0x8599fed66e2a440f12e9bc3fcf40594af78f3694;
   unit balance = 100;
   string memory editedString;


   // Function logic


   return editedString //Returns "UserData: 0x8599fed66e2a440f12e9bc3fcf40594af78f3694, 100" 

}

The function should also work if the "format" is arranged differently. Example: "UserData: {balance}, {address}" ---> returns: "UserData: 100, 0x8599fed66e2a440f12e9bc3fcf40594af78f3694"

I did find some similar examples but I am not 100% sure how should I approach this.

Solady's LibString has a replace method:

function replace(string memory subject, string memory search, string memory replacement)
    internal
    pure
    returns (string memory result)
{
    // --- snip --- //
}
