TextSubstitution Algorithm
Replaces the text being masked with an equivalent (less than or equal) length text taken from the provided text file. If the original test is shorter than the first word of the masking text, the first word converted to lowercase is returned. If the original text is longer than the replacement text, then the replacement text will be repeated until the lengths are equivalent.
