If what you want is to convert the [ quote] tags in a string then try using :

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
dim strText as String
strText = request.form("message"
strText = replace(replace(strText,"[ quote]","&lt;blockquote&gt;","[/ quote]","&lt;/blockquote&gt;"
</font id=code></pre id=code>

or better still, create a regular expression to handle converting square bracketed tags into html tags that will handle different types of forum code with the same routine.

does this answer your question?
