Using vb.net and visual studio 2012.
I have a bunch of strings using custom text replacement. By that I mean that they are all one-line strings using, for example, "&1" to replace 'vbcr' and so on. I have to take this string and replace all the "&1" by a vbcr.
I tried using regex and stringbuilder replace. Here is an example:
finaltext = firsttext.Replace("&1", vbcr)
But doing it this way results in replacing the "&1" by a simple space. I thought that vbcr was the problem but I tried to reverse my code by:
finaltext = firsttext.Replace(vbcr, "&1")
The vbcr were correctly replaced by "&1" so I don't understand why my original code is not working.
I know it's possible using a long complicated custom function but I would prefer to avoid this solution if possible.
