I'm looking for either a built-in function or add-on that will search for a certain phrase or sentence that is posted within all posts made either on the forum as a whole or by an individual user and then replace it with something else... in this particular case, delete it.
Any suggestions?

I'd much rather remove the entire line from the forum instead of that method if possible.
Is there a query of some sort I can run? If not then I'll surrender to Replacement Variables.

Exactly what I'm looking for, thank you very much.
Ended up going a step further by limiting the search and replace to one user:
UPDATE
rc_post
SET
pagetext = replace(pagetext,'TEXT TO REPLACE', 'NEW TEXT')
WHERE
userid = 'xxx'
