Replaces the center image of the Cyrpt (it's blank, don't worry) with some information regarding the noncombats of the zones.

void main()
{
   buffer results;
   results.append(visit_url());

   string cyrpt = "<font size=1>&lt;- Muscle &nbsp; &nbsp; Mys -&gt;<br />&lt;- Mox &nbsp; &nbsp; All -&gt;</font>";
   results.replace_string("<img src=\"http://images.kingdomofloathing.com/otherimages/cyrpt/cyrpt5.gif\">", cyrpt);
	
   results.write();
}

Special

Matches are made left-to-right, and once a portion of the supplied original is noted as a match, searching continues from the next character after said match.
