to start with,.. ascii art text isnt the best thing to match a regular expression ... it was too many characters you will need so that you can signal what text is to be replaced ...

Anyway this is the principle to follow...

consider this string :  
Code Select
str = "Mery Christmas [user]"
If I want to replace "[user]" with my nick "Herodes" I would need to do  this :
Code Select
str = gsub( str, strfind(str, "%[user%]", "Herodes" )
now the variable str will return :
Code Select
str = "Merry Christmas Herodes"
