What am I doing wrong?

[Shenron]

DisplayText = "/me plays *AR - *SN"
Replace DisplayText, "*AR", MP3.Artist
Replace DisplayText, "*SN", MP3.Title
Replace DisplayText, "*AL", MP3.Album

DisplayText still returns "/me plays *AR - *SN", all MP3 varibles have the correct text in them. *sighs* - I don't see what I'm dong wrong...

Replace returns the altered string as a return parameter, the original string is passed ByVal

DisplayText = "/me plays *AR - *SN"
DisplayText = Replace(DisplayText, "*AR", MP3.Artist)
DisplayText = Replace(DisplayText, "*SN", MP3.Title)
DisplayText = Replace(DisplayText, "*AL", MP3.Album)

To start with , wrong is a subject whats wrong or help or .... whatever don't apply to a good subject.

The replace function does return something. (a string)
if you don't capture it , and store it somewhere then it is lost.

If you want to replace the *AL bit you must provide it to replace.

try to add msgbox before it you'll see it.
