This isn't working for me and I'm not sure why:

Local this:String = "hello there"

Replace(this,"hello","go")

Print this

edit Ugh...have to do a:

this = Replace( this,"hello","go" )

You might be better off using the string 'replace' method rather than the old retro string 'replace' function. Check out language > strings in the Blitzmax help.

eg.

Local t:String="***** HELLO *****"
Print t.Replace( "*","!" ) 'replaces all "*" with "!"

Thx for the tip Bill.
