Hi,
Suppose I want to replace "string1" with "string2" in a file from vim.
1. Highlight "string1" (in visual mode) and then type "y".
2. Highlight "string2" (in visual mode) and then type "p".
However, the problem with the above procedure is that "string2",
instead of "string1

I think that the best way to do this is just with registers. So what
you would do is:
v"ay
v"ap
what this does is use the a register to yank to/put from.
For more info see :help y and :help p
