Ok, here is the problem. I've tried so hard to get this work and its just annoying me so im going to see if anyone can help me. I Have a game that you write ^7 and all the text after that would be the color that corresponds with "7" which is the color white. every character has a dif color. what i need is a sub that has a string and a richtextbox in the arguments. the sub should take the string, change the colors and get rid of all the "^2"'s or w/e and insert it all into the richtextbox... ive tried and i do nothing but get anoyed, i would prolly start with string.substring, but idk... thanks for the help if you can...
