ABCstr is an esolang by User:ChuckEsoteric08

Specification

ABCstr uses string as memory. Initial string is "abc".
There are three commands:

x=y

If there is instance of x in the string replace it with y, else goto label x

x-y

Works the same but also outputs x if there is x

:x

Works the same but will replace with user input. It is the only string-rewriting language created by User:ChuckEsoteric08 that has input

Examples

Hello, World!

a=Hello, World!
a
Hello, World-a

Computational class
