Google Apps Script: How to get text from textArea? (replaceText)

I need replace text in textArea, what am I doing wrong?

function doGet() {
  var app = UiApp.createApplication();
  var textArea = app.createTextArea()
  .setText('here is text... here is text... here is text...')
  .setName('theText').setId('theText')
  .addClickHandler(app.createServerHandler('processing'));
  app.add(textArea);
  return app;
}

function processing(e) {
  Logger.log(e.parameter.theText); // In Log I see: 'here is text... here is text... here is text...'
  var textIn = e.parameter.theText;
  var textOut = textIn.replaceText('/[text]/', 'new text'); // Here I get error: Unable to find a function replaseText in the object here is text... here is text... here is text....
  var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
  app.getElementById('theText').setText(textOut);
  return app;  
}

I tryed getText, getBody, editAsText etc. with 'e.parameter.theText' but with same result. Where is mistakes?

The replace method is simply replace and not replaceText this is pure JavaScript. It seems that you are making a confusion between DocumentApp and Javascript string manipulation.
