Hi there,

I'm looking for a VB method of using placeholders in a string so that dynamic text can be substituted in. For example, in C++, one could do:

char* buffer;

sprintf( buffer, "The quick brown %s jumped over the lazy dog.", "fox");



And then the buffer would contain "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."

Basically, I want to load text from a data file, which contains some sort of placeholder like this, so that I can easily insert any dynamic text into the string without having to fiddle about with Split or ReplaceWord or things like that if I can help it.

Thanks!
Marion
