Stuck... variable problem

[TimeSurfer]

guys lol i feel so stupid i cant remember how to escape characters correctly to get the variable that is highlighted in red to work. i keep an error 'attempt to call global test2 [a string value] and i figure its because im not escaping correctly or something.

test2 = INIFile.GetValue("AutoPlay\\Docs\\ini\\conf.ini", "IRC", "nick");
tests = TextFile.ReadToString("AutoPlay\\Docs\\HeavyApplet.html");
tests2 = String.Replace(tests, "<param name=\"nick\" value=\"SCDLR\">", "<param name=\"nick\" value=\""..[COLOR="Red"]test2[/COLOR]"\">", false);
TextFile.WriteFromString("AutoPlay\\Docs\\HeavyApplet2.html", tests2, false);

the format im trying to force would look like this is if the variable test2 was set to SCDLR that is

<param name="nick" value="SCDLR">

any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

couldn't it be that there is a concatenation missing? I think that there should be an additional ".." right after the variable in red. Like this:

tests2 = String.Replace(tests, "<param name=\"nick\" value=\"SCDLR\">", "<param name=\"nick\" value=\"" .. test2 .. "\">", false);

Cheers,
Ulrich
