Deadron has a great library for dealing with text.

Its not working.
    Messege()
        src.Messege = input("What is the messege? ","Messege?",usr.Messege)
        src<<"The selected user is now [src.Messege]."
        var/search_string = " "
        var/replacement = "+"
        dd_replacetext(src.Messege, search_string, replacement)

dd_replaceText returns a string with the new text. It doesn't actually change the variables you pass it.
